INTRODUCTION. 



In giving this publication to the world it is 
the design of the author to treat upon the train- 
ing of the body and brain in education, econo- 
my, industry, temperance, morality, and how 
to be wise, good, healthy, strong and happy 
without burdening the mind with theoretical 
speculations The work is thorough, carefully 
considered in evsry party and written in plain 
words so that the unlearned can comprehend 
the meaning. In short it is intended to aid the 
student or observing person in fitting them- 
selves for a higher sphere of usefulness in life.

FINE AND COAESE GRAINED TEMPERA- 
MENT. 

One with- Temperament coarse will generally 
like things rather coarse, and everything in work 
would like it of a course and substantial nature; 
would be adapted to work at freight cars, mould- 
ings, wagons, and the rougher farm work, rough 
stone work, etc., and is not adapted to do fine nice 
work, or that which is nice and beautiful in work, 
arts or learning. When a person has a tempera- 
ment that is fine grained their body and brain 
will be adapted to do fine nice work and that 
which is smooth polished and varnished. They 
are adapted to build passenger cars and nice ma- 
chinery, and work at the fine arts, if the brain is 
of proper shape, and will like cleanliness, refine- 
ment, taste, etc., and are adapted to become fine 
scholars and have nicer and finer wa^s in society 
and company. It gives a person a finer voice than 
the coarse temperament would if it was the same 
person that would have it. When the tempera- 
ment is fine they will be more sensitive and keen 
and of a poetic and literary taste; the feelings are 
more easily hurt, excited and stirred up, and hates 
that which is low, coarse and filthy. Persons that 
are very fine grained are liable to be too nice, fan- 
ciful, high-toned and polished with customs and 
fashions if they do not use good judgment, good 
morals, common sense and industry. The fine 
grained temperament can do coarse work if it had 
to, bat it will not be well satisfied or succeed well; 
bat a person with the coarse grained temperament 



cannot do fine nice work; just like fine razor steel 
could be made into plow points and do plowing, if 
it had to be so, but it would not be as well adapt- 
ed for to plow as it would to shave, but the coarse 
plow point metal would not do for razors. The 
deer, sheep and rabbit have a fine organized body 
and brain and see how much finer and nicer their 
meat is and how much nicer their movements, 
ways and actions are, and how much cleaner they 
are than the course grizzly bear, also of other liv- 
ing beings the same way, See how much finer 
and neater the deer and rabbit looks than the 
coarse bear. A person with a coarse temperament 
their flesh will look coarse and be coarse like coarse 
sand or coarse flesh or meat, which will be found 
strongly developed in some Germans or Belgians 
and other foreign people. Persons with a tem- 
perament fine grained their body and brain will 
appear like fine sand or fine meat, like the rabbit 
and deer, and they will look as if they were of fine 
quality and material. 

Figure 1 is very course. 

Figure 3 is middling course. 

Figure 5 is neither coarse nor fine. 

Figure 6 is middling fine. 

Figure 7 is fine. 

Figure 8 is fine quality. 

Figure 9 is of finer quality. 

Figure 10 is the very finest and highest quality. 

Women as a rule have a finer grained tempera- 
ment than men. The people of the United Slates 
generally have a fine temperament. The fine 
grained temperament and the brain and nerve 
temperament generally go together; and the lym- 

phatie, and the coarse grained temperament gen 

ally go together. Persons with a tine grained 



temperament that are well trained in morality, in- 
dustry, usefulness, neatness and cleanliness will 
make rough and dirty places and things look 
smooth, clean, nice, polished and often beautiful. 
It will take rough stone, timber, ores, etc., and 
build grand, neat and beautiful machinery, hous- 
es, cars, steamboats and many other nice and 
beautiful things out of them. Persons with the 
coarse grained temperament should always be 
cleanly about washing, baking, cooking and pre- 
paring any kind of food or drinks, and do not be 
filthy in your dress but be as clean as possible in 
all necessary places, then if you cannot enjoy 
things that are nice, grand, beautiful, polished and 
ornamental, very well, but leave other people en- 
joy things that are nice, beautiful, good and useful 
and do not think they are foolish or proud, pro- 
viding they use good morality and judgement. 
God made a great many things nice, beautiful and 
grand, and why not enjoy them when we can. 

What is meant by these two temperaments is 
that your flesh, bones, muscles, and brain or all 
the body and brain is made up of either coarse or 
fine grained flesh, muscles, bones and blood, as you 
see some goods are of finer, nicer and better qual- 
ity than other goods. Cast iron or metal is coarser 
than razor steel, and the humming bird and other 
birds have finer feathers and all parts of the body 
is made up of fine material and has nice move- 
ments, where the turkey, goose and coarse grizzly 
bear is of a coarse nature. A person with a coarse 
grained temperament, or the body and brain is 
coarse grained or of coarse grain in flesh, muscle, 
bone, blood and brain they will be rough and 
coarse in ways and manners; will not care for 
cleanliness, neatness or taste, and will dislike the 



things that are nice and beautiful. If they have 
not very much ideality and do not use good judg- 
ment they will not be able to place the proper val- 
ue upon things that are nice and finished. 

Figure 1 means the very coarsest tempera- 
ment. Any person with this temperament will 
be only adapted to the very coarsest and rough- 
est kind of work and if not careful their habits 
will be rough, dirty and filthy and will think 
the things that are beautiful and nic<- are of no 
benefit and should not think people foolish and 
proud who use them. If they use good, moral, 
intelligent judgment, form good habits, clean- 
liness, and live healthy, good and wise it will 
improve them greatly. 

No 3 is a little finer temperament than No. 1. 
Anyone with this temperament is belter adapted 
to manual labor than to study, and should avoid 
drinking, smoking and low company. 

No 5 is of the average temperament. Persons 
thus developed are plain in their taste?, practi- 
cal in their views, and want things of a substan- 
tial and good character, such as you meet in 
every- dav life. 

No. 8 is of a fine quality. Persons possessing 
this quality of temperament are finely and 
delicately organized : are susceptible and sensi- 
tive, refined in their tastes and pleasures, and 
like what is nice and beautiful. 

Figure 10 i- the very highest quality. The 
person possessing this quality will enjoy in a 
very high degree that which is nice, ornamen- 
tal and refined and cleanly, and with a proper 
shaped brain can become very good scholars in 
the highest studies, and will have fine high lit- 
erarv and poetic tastes ; will he sensitive and 



easily affected and will be one of the very best 
to take rough materials such as ores, coarse 
metals, timbers, etc., and make them into nice 
and beautiful things and can take things that 
are dirty and filthy and make them look nice 
and clean, especially if they are industrious, but 
should be well directed and cultivated or you 
may be too tony, silly or fussy about things and 
ways, especially if you have not the time or can- 
not afford them. But first of all be good, use- 
ful, cleanly and sensible. 

SANGUINE TEMPERAMENT. 

This temperament has richer blood, larger heart, 
lungs, chest and shoulders. Where this tempera- 
ment is healthy, strong and largely developed in 
persons they will have plenty of pure, rich blood, 
large heart, lungs, chest and shoulders, with an 
active circulation. The pulse beats 75 to 85 times 
per minute, with a moderate amount of flesh, gen- 
erally red skin and faces and often sandy or red 
beard or hair and generally a rather short beard, 
often light or blue eyes, rather small around the 
waist, generally a rather weak digestion, but what 
food you do digest is made into good, rich blood 
by the good circulation and breathing power, which 
helps your digestion a great deal. This tempera- 
ment lives more by fresh air, according to its size, 
than any other, and will, as a rule, stand exposure 
well, and is better adapted to out-door, lively, ac- 
tive, stirring and medium heavy work. A person 
with this temperament that measures 5 feet, 7 or 
8 inches -will usually weigh 125 to 150 pounds, 
one 6 feet in height will generally weigh 160 to 
180 pounds. Excitability is generally the great- 
est in this temperament. In disposition this tern- 



8 

perarnent is generally passionate, flashy, excitable, 
impulsive and what they have to say they often 
say rapidly and are liable to work too rapidly 
when stirred up and then give out too soon to 
stand hard, patient and long continued study or 
work. This temperament is the reverse of the 
Lymphatic temperament. A person with the san- 
guine temperament must be careful to think twice 
before they act or speak, also watch and know 
when and where to speak, also learn how to do 
your work well and as fast as possible without in- 
juring your health of body or mind. Take this 
temperament combined with the Motive tempera- 
ment, and it does very well, as the motive is 
adapted to rather slow, heavy, muscular and long 
continued labor. Then combined with the san- 
guine a person will be able to do heavy, muscular, 
long continued work and keep the work moving 
comparatively fast without being too excitable or 
in too much of a hurry to do things generally, and 
work too fast, to do it well and hold out on a long 
pull, or long continued work. The brain and 
nerve temperament properly combined with the 
sanguine and motive makes a person excitable, 
stirring, with power and strength, endurance, har- 
diness, springiness, with great activity, with keen- 
ness of mind and body, with good judgement if 
well cultivated and directed President Garfield 
had the sanguine temperament largely and strong- 
ly developed, bul well cultivated, trained, directed 
and combined with the oilier temperaments. The 
brain and nerve temperament combined with the 
sanguine gives the greatest activity, livliest, the 

most stilling and the most, zealousoi' any two tem- 

peraments that can be combined. The sanguine 
temperament is generally strongly developed in 



the Irish. As I have described the sanguine tem- 
perament means without any of the other temper- 
aments combined. We could not live with only- 
one temperament as each temperament has certain 
places and its work to perform and is good in its 
place just like the brain. One organ"of the brain 
cannot do all the brain work, but one organ has 
certain kinds of work to do, and another organ has 
its part of the brain work to do. The sanguine 
temperament helps stir up all of the other temper- 
aments. It excites and fires up the other temper- 
aments of people but they should be careful and 
not be excited and fired up into doing sinful or 
wrong acts or to attend bad places, but do good 
and useful things and use as good judgment as 
possible. The shoulders and chest in the san- 
guine will be rather flat and broad and in the vital 
the chest is more thick, or deep, or more round, 
full and plump generally. People with a sanguine 
temperament usually have rather slim red faces 
Sanguine and vital temperaments are the most 
easily excited, impulsive and flashy and such should 
never leave themselves run wild and reckless and 
do and say things that are sinful, but be at things 
that are good and useful and mean everything for 
the best, then if they get excited and talk and act 
in a very excited way people do not get harmed. 
Persons should not get angry with such people, 
but just wait until they are over their excitement, 
and then in their calm moments is when you get 
their best thoughts and actions. 

THE VITAL TEMPERAMENT. 

The Vital Temperament is characterized by being 
round, plump, heavy set, fleshy, only of average 



10 



height generally, with a large amount of blood, 
with all the internal organs well developed and 
healthy which means the heart, lungs, liver, kid- 
neys, stomach and bowels; also good circulation 
with active pores and skin. The vital maufactures 
a great amount of nourishment for to build up the 
body; generally has pretty solid flesh, is vigorous 
and hearty, also throws off the impurities and 
worn out material of the body very rapidly. 
The pulse beats 70 to 80 times a minute. This 
temperament has seldom got as strong and tough 
arteries and veins as the other temperaments and 
is liable to have some of the blood vessels rup- 
tured or bursted during excitement, or a busy 
time or when in a great hurry, and cause sudden 
death. The heart, too, is often unable to circu- 
late the large amount of blood in time of excite- 
ment or hurry This would not be a disease as 
the blood vessels and heart are healthy enough, 
but not strong, tough and large enough for the 
large amount of blood to be circulated freely so 
the blood vessel or heart must fail. The Vital is 
more liable to fevers, inflammation and smothering 
spells than any other diseases when all things are 
equal. To avoid the troubles of the heart, veins 
and arteries use do pork, tobacco or liquors; do 
not eat food for supper that is hard to digest, and 
do not go to bed soon after supper. If a person 
with vital temperament gets the nightmare they 
may never recover, especially if the heart 
and arteries and veins are weak. The vital tem- 
perament is well developed in a great many of the 
German people. When a strong vital is combined 
with a strong brain and nerve temperament and a 
proper shaped brain, such make our very best bus- 
iness people. Such will l»e quick ami clear in 



11 



mind, far seeing, shrewd and skillful when 
well trained, directed and cultivated Persons with 
strong vital, brain and nerve temperaments com- 
bined if they shouid get fevers they will be very 
apt to be high fevers of the body and brain and 
get very wild and crazy and dangerously sick, but 
they generally recover from fevers and gain very 
rapidly in strength of body and brain if properly 
treated The vital temperament has more blood 
than the sanguine, and better nourished, because 
it has better digestive powers to digest more food, 
to nourish the blood and make more flesh. But 
the blood of the vital is not of such a red rich col- 
or as that of the sanguine. The sanguine temper- 
ament gives more of a red color to the face and 
body and not so much flesh as the vital. The vi- 
tal is generally fond of a good living and having 
plenty to eat and drink. They want to guard 
strongly against intoxicating drinks. Just be- 
cause they want to satisfy their appetites they 
must not indulge in liquors. Use plenty of 
good, healthy, nourishing foods and drinks, but 
not enough to injure your health, and then enjoy 
them all you can by taking plenty of time to eat 
with a good contented mind 

Then you must look for a combination of tem- 
peraments. Some people will have about an equal 
balance of all the temperaments. If all the tem- 
peraments are large, healthy and well trained then 
they will be strong in body and mind and will have 
the signs of all the temperaments marked; such as 
muscles, flesh, blood, bones, brains and nerves and 
internal organs. Now, when you see a person 
with some of the signs which I have described that 
are stronger than some of the other signs, then 
you may know that some of the temperaments are 



12 

stronger than others. For an illustration: When 
you see a person with the signs of the motive 
temperament and the brain and nerve tempera- 
ments the strongest then you may know that the 
motive temperament and the brain and nerve tem- 
peraments are the strongest. Then when you see 
another person that has a round, full, plump body, 
heavy set with plenty of blood, is hearty and ro- 
bust, has a large brain and good nerves then you 
may know that the vital, brain and nerve temper- 
aments are the strongest. Reader, remember that 
the brain and nerve temperaments belong to the 
brain and nerves. The coarse and fine grained 
temperament belongs to the brain and body, and 
all of the other temperaments belong just to the 
body. 

THE MOTIVE TEMPERAMENT. 

When this temperament is healthy, strongly and 
largely developed, will have large bones with solid 
muscles, very little flesh but solid, raw boned, have 
rough features, often have large shoulders with 
only an average-sized waist, frequently have coarse 
dark hair and strong coarse voice; are adapted to 
slow, heavy, muscular, every-day work, such as 
heavy farm work if on a farm; if a- mechanic, build- 
ing ships, barns, bridges, heavy stone work, loco- 
mot ivcs, in large and heavy iron works, moulding, 
etc. Wherever there is very heavy muscular and 
long continued work to be done you must have a 
person with a healthy, strong motive tempera- 
incut, which means a large, bony, muscular frame. 
This temperament, \\ hen strong, is the most liable 
to have biliousness, bilious fevers, headache, aches 
ami pains, rheumatism and liver complaint. I 



13 

mean if a person with this temperament gets dis- 
eases it is very liable to be the diseases named if 
all things are equal. The bones and musles and 
very little flesh is all that belongs to this temper- 
ament. "We could not live with just this tempera- 
ment or with just bones and solid muscles, but we 
must have some of this temperament if we want to 
walk, exercise, run or walk. We would be per- 
fectly limber and helpless if we had not any of the 
motive temperament. We cannot live with just 
one internal organ of the body. We cannot live 
with just a stomach, we must have lungs, heart, 
liver, etc., with the stomach, so that is the way 
with the temperaments We cannot live with 
only one temperament, but need different tempera- 
ments combined, and each one has its place and 
kind of work to do. As the stomach has its work 
to do the heart and the lungs in the same way 
have theirs to do. Now, reader, if your motive 
temperament is small do not undertake to do 
heavy lifting, hard, long continued, heavy muscu- 
lar labor. Where the motive temperament is 
the strongest and largest, the liver will generally 
be the largest internal organ of the body. Where 
the motive is a great deal larger than any of the oth- 
er temperaments in a person they will like plenty of 
the solid kinds of food, such, as meat, corn, beans, 
bread, etc., and not very much fruit, vegetables 
and nick-nacks in cooking. If the temperaments 
are nearly equally combined you will generally like 
different kinds of food. Then it must be remem- 
bered that different kinds of labor calls for differ- 
ent kinds of food as well as different kinds of tem- 
peraments do. Also habit often has a good bit to 
do with food and drink. 



14 

THE BEAIN AND NERVE TEMPERAMENT. 

The brain and nerves are all that belongs to this 
temperament. Persons with this temperament 
largely, strongly and healthily developed will have 
a healthy, large brain and nerves, and will be keen 
and quick in body and mind, and would make 
good scholars if cultivated in the proper directions 
as to what is best adapted to their brain and body. 
It gives us great activity and power of mind to 
think, act, plan and observe business; also ways of 
people and many other things. This tempera- 
ment gives us our statesmen, lawyers, scholars, 
philosophers, presidents, governers, farmers, me- 
chanics, business men, orators; teachers and our 
learned and intelligent people. We could not live 
without some of this temperament and we could 
not live with just this temperament The tem- 
peraments must be combined to live and to do 
well, and I think that very little of the lym- 
phatic temperament is needed. Some persons 
have the brain and nerve temperament healthier, 
stronger and larger developed in the brain than 
in the nerves. Then other people have more of 
the brain and nerve temperament healthier and 
stronger developed in the nerves. Then there are 
other people that are about equally developed in 
the brain and nerves. When persons have more 
of this temperament in the brain they will be bet- 
ter adapted to do hard deep brain work. To be 
in the office planning, studying, arranging and 
overseeing and doing the writing, keeping the 
books, etc., rather than to be a clerk or salesman 
and stirring in an active way with body, doing 
mosl of the active, springy, quick movements 
of work, Take a person with more of this tem- 
perament in the nerves they can move more 



15 

rapidly and quick with their body. A person 
with more of this temperament in the nerves 
will be more adapted to do active, quick, springy, 
speedy movements in work, such as teaching 
school, also in business they are better adapted 
to be clerks," active salesmen or cash boys, and 
not so well adapted to quiet, hard, deep study, 
or sitting in the office or room studying deep 
philosophy, or writing up books, or doing quiet 
or commanding brain work. Where a person 
has the brain and nerve temperament di- 
vided evenly in the nerves and brain he will do 
as well in active and quick movements as in 
studying books and doing brain work. If the 
person is large and healthful in brain and nerves 
he will be active and strong in the nerves to do 
active work and can do hard, deep brain work. 
If a person is small in both brain and nerves 
they will be poor and weak in studying and un- 
derstanding things, will not be active and stir- 
ring. If the person is fleshy and large he can 
not move so rapidly as a per sod who is not so 
fleshy and large The nerves are only branches 
of the brain — just like trees. Some trees have 
large bodies and small branches, and other trees 
have small bodies and large branches. So that 
is the way with the brain and nerve tempera- 
ment. Take the full blooded rat terrier dog. 
They have the brain and nerve temperament 
strongly developed ; figure 6 in brain and figure 
10 in the nerves, with motive 4 and vital 3. See 
how quick in mind they are in understanding 
thirgs that they are adapted to Then with 
plenty of strong nerves see how active, quick and 
speedy they are in catching rats. See how quick, 
keen and wide awake thev are in their minds. 



16 

President Garfield had a very large and strong 
brain and nerve temperament. He had this 
temperament figure 10, or very large in brain, 
and figure 8 or 9 in the nerves ; consequently 
he was active, quick and springy in body. He 
bad but little of the lymphatic temperament; 
so there was no sluggishness in Garfield. Being 
very large, or figure 10, in the brain he was very 
active and great in mind or brain power. He 
had the sanguine temperament classed at figure 
9, the motive at figure 8 and the vital at figure 
7, consequently he was very active and powerful 
in body and mind. His brain measured 24 
inches in circumference, while the brains of 
other Presidents measured from 22 to 23 inches 
in circumference. The diseases which a person 
is more liable toe ntract with this than with the 
other temperaments, will be nervous headache, 
weak nerves, neuralgia, nervousness and a peev- 
ish, irritable, restless mind and often have such 
deranged nerves they are troubled with sleep- 
lessness which causes them to worry and fret 
and are liable to brain fever. If such people be- 
come nervous and cannot sleep they should 
take a good bath with tepid or medium warm 
water in a temperate or warm room. Put a lit- 
tle ammonia in the water or add >} pint of salt 
to a gallon of water. Take the bath before go- 
ing to bed and with a coarse towel rub the skin 
as brisk as possible to make the nerves and skin 
healthy, also to cause a good circulation. If the 
skin is too tender for a coarse towel take your 
hands or a smooth cloth and rub the bodyrapid- 
lv and vigorously from 15 to 30 minutes or more, 
ae you see best. Simply rubbing the body is 
very good, especially if you have been batning 



17 

once a week or more, to keep the pores open. 

LYMPHATIC TEMPERAMENT. 

Lymphatic Temperament is so called because 
it has a set a vessels and tubes that secrete and 
circulate a clear watery fluid called lymph, with 
some nourishment in it. The lymphatic tubes 
look nearly like the veins and arteries in a good 
many way&. It manufactures, secretes and cir- 
culates lymph from nearly all parts of the body 
and brain, and carries it to and empties it into 
the blood near the heart. We need some lymph 
for the body, but too much makes the blood 
weak and watery and then the body and brain 
will be weaker, duller and slower. This tem- 
perament when strongly developed gives a full- 
ness, roundness, paleness, weakness and soft- 
ness of body and brain, especially when it is 
larger and stronger than the other tempera- 
ments. The digestive organs are generally 
stronger than any other part of the bodv and 
usually the heaviest and largest about the 
waist. We should only have one-fourth to one- 
third as much of the lymphatic temperament as 
any of the other temperaments in size and 
strength if we want to be strong and indus- 
trious, that is according to size and strength of 
brain and body. Diseases liable to this tem- 
perament are inflammation of the lymphatic 
glands, vessels and tubes, which is dangerous 
if not properly treated ; then the lymphatic tem- 
perament is liable to chronic diseases, when the 
lymphatic- vessels get sluggish and dull, and se- 
crete and circulate a thick fluid of a phlegm 
nature and it makes the blood of a poor quali- 
ty. Then you have a phlegmatic temperament 



18 

which gives a person loose, soft, flabby and pale 
flesh; is weak, dull, sluggish, sleepy and lazy, 
and the body and brain is of a dropsical na- 
ture. Remember that disease and temperament 
are quite different. The lymphatic tempera- 
ment causes the other temperaments to act 
more slowly, calm and cool, especially in time 
of excitement or action, and is generally only 
moderately developed in the American and Irish 
people, but largely developed in some of the 
German, English, Holland, and Belgium peo- 
ple. The vital temperament is quite different 
from the lymphatic. The vital works up every 
thing well that is fit for the body and brain into 
nourishment and blood to make a vigorous, ro- 
bust, hearty, lively brain and body. Persons 
with the lymphatic temperament should bathe 
often and rub the whole body vigorously and 
rapidly to keep the skin and pores healthy and 
clean. When you rub the body briskly it pro- 
duces a strong current of electricity or nervous 
current, which warms up and electrifies the 
whole body, and also produces sweating Take 
good care of your kidneys and keep them strong 
by exercising freely and do not use much of a 
weak watery diet, but a solid, nutritious diet. 
All these directions are of great value to the 
lymphatic temperament. 

Beer is about the most injurious beverage that 
can be used to create a coarse, bloated lymphat- 
ic temperament. F>«t pork makes people more 
fat and oily like, in both body and brain, and 
causes more of a coarse grained temperament. 

If directions for the fine grained and brain 
and nerve temperaments were followed it would 
improve persons with ;i lymphatic temperament. 



19 

"We should cultivate the fine grained and brain 
and nerve temperaments continually and raise 
them if possible to figure 10, which is the highest 
standard, and keep them there by avoiding foods 
that are filthy, drinks that will intoxicate, and to- 
bacco. It would be best to use no pork, our meat 
diet should be beef, mutton, fowls and wild game, 
but mostly vegetables, fish, fruits, eggs and grain 
foods. Breath plenty of fresh air, have plenty of 
work or exercise, and bathe freely. Continually 
cultivate the brain by keeping your mind employed 
at things that are good and useful and will keep 
you contented and cheerful, such as religion, mor- 
ality, music, literature, machinery, science, busi- 
ness, cleanly and sensible housekeeping, farming, 
etc. Some persons have a brain and body 
that is better adapted to study and learn and work 
at some of the trades and professions than at oth- 
ers, but each should select that which they are 
best adapted to and that will make them better 
and wiser. Persons must have a good develop- 
ment of the brain and nerve temperament to be 
expert at any particular work, study, trade or pro- 
fession. Then they need some of the other temper- 
aments to give them good, healthy, active bodies. 
Any nation or race of people that has little of the 
fine grained temperament and brain and nerve tem- 
perament cannot be a great nation or race in 
learning, improvement and wealth, and cannot have 
great and good influence over the world, even if 
they had good chances, but could be greatly im- 
proved by being well taught and cultivated and in 
a few generations might be brought up to a me- 
dium high standard. God has given man a finer 
grained temperament and more of the brain and 
nerve temperament than any other living being, 



20 

and He meant for us to take care of these temper- 
aments and did not make a mistake by giving man 
a fine grained temperament or too much of the 
brain and nerve temperaments, but He meant us 
to use it for good purposes; and if we keep these 
two temperaments in good condition and properly 
regulated then we will have the great foundation 
laid for the other temperaments to be healthy, vig- 
orous and thrifty. God gave man these two tem- 
peraments to make him intelligent, wise, indus- 
trious and cleanly, to have deep, keen and good 
enjoyments, and to take rough materials and make 
nice, good and useful things out of them. Also to 
make duty places clean, nice and beautiful, and we 
must not be afraid to go to work and improve 
things even if we do get our hands and ciothes 
soiled, and it should be our aim in life to properly 
cultivate and take special care of these tempera- 
ments. 

If a person is marked higher in the brain than 
in the nerves they will have more of the tempera- 
ment in the brain. If marked higher in the nerves 
they will have more of the temperament in the 
nerves. If marked with the same figure in brain 
and nerves they will have the brain and nerve 
tenrperaments equally divided in the brain and 
nerves. 

EXCITABILITY. 

Excitability is generally the strongest in the 
sanguine and vital temperaments, the weakest in 
the lymphatic temperamenl and average in the 
motive temperament. The sign of excitability is 
bard i<> describe. There is a certain kind of coun- 
tenance, looks, actions, expression, etc. You must 
learn t<> see what <lu> si<>ns are bv careful watch 



21 

ing and using good judgment, and when you see 
persons that are easily excited look f orsigns of ex- 
citability. When sure you have dectected some 
of the signs then apply them to others. You no- 
tice that some children resemble and favor their 
parents; that is the way in noticing excitability, 
you will see people that resemble and act like 
some one that you know is excitable. A good 
phrenologist can easily tell excitability. A person 
in whom it is strongly developed will be easily 
excited and stirred up, and is liable to be flashy 
and passionate and will do and say things in time 
of excitement that they would not do when they 
are calm and cool and have time to think over the 
matter; also they might act in a manner that they 
would be sorry and ashamed of afterward, and 
often do not know what they are doing or saying 
when excited. Excitability is a good thing in its 
place, to keep us wakened up, but it should be 
well guarded and directed by using good self con- 
trol, morality, and good common sense and judg- 
ment. Where excitability is weak you will not be 
easily excited and will generally talk and act with 
but little excitement and if you do not use good 
judgment, activity and industry you will need to 
be stirred up by cultivating excitability. It is 
usually more strongly developed in women than 
in men, and is the strongest in the Irish race. A 
person in whom excitability is strong and activity 
weak will generally make a great stir and not get 
much accomplished when greatly excited, especial- 
ly if push, energy and force is weak, and the brain 
is small. 



22 
ACTIVITY. 

When activity is great, (as 8 to 10) you will be 
very active and stirring and will want to do things 
quick, especially if it is something you are inter- 
ested in and can work rapidly. If you possess 
industry and knowledge it will be increased to do 
its work more rapidly and correct. Activity is 
generally the greatest in the brain and nerve tem- 
peraments and the weakest in the lymphatic. You 
will have to judge of activity by the rules laid for 
excitability. When a person has great activity 
they will often be in too much of a hurry to do 
and learn things well, especially if going through 
a slow process. But a person must take time to 
do their work if it is a little tedious and then add 
speed as fast as you can without injuring your 
health. You may not be patient enough with peo- 
ple whose activity is weak and who can not do 
work rapidly, or if they are weakly or sickly, and 
in such cases you must use good judgment, mercy 
and morality and take time to talk and act prop- 
erly. If your activity is weak you will not do to 
be put at work where it is to be done rapidly and 
on short notice even if you have got industry and 
good knowledge of the work. A person with ac- 
tivity strong and excitability weak will be active 
and move quick and not be excited and stirred up 
greatly. Activity means active in body and mind 
and a person with activity strongly developed is 
liable to want to study, read and talk faster than 
they can understand and they are liable to go 
through their books too fast to understand them 
well. Have patience and thoroughness, use good 
judgment and take time to study your lessons and 
books well and thorough. Learn to study and 



23 

think rapidly yet good and true, and remember that 
fast work is not always the best. If excitabi'ity, 
activity, fine grained and brain and nerve temper- 
aments are strongly developed you will learn 
trades and professions well and rapidly and can 
become excellent scholars in whatever branch you 
are adapted to. 

Some people with excitability and activity 
great could become very good in professions, 
trades and work if they would have the patience 
to adhere to that which they .undertake. They 
learn and worrk very fast when things go rap- 
idly and well, but when they come to places 
where it requires them to be slow, calm and 
patient and requires hard work and study to 
get through, they get discouraged and give 
up for life; where if they would have moved 
right along until they would become good, then 
they could have moved along rapidlv*and easily 
wiih their work or studies and would have liked 
their studies if they had only pushed right 
through the storms. Now reader, remember and 
move strai ht forward and do things right if 
you do have to go slow and study hard. Be 
careful and not go too much by excitement and 
activity in a great many places. As an illustra- 
tion I know of an occurrence in which a genr 
tleman's house was on fire ; one of the girls hur- 
ried and got a ladder, carried water up on the 
roof and put the fire out unaided. She was so 
much excited that she rang the farm bell after 
the fire was completely extinguished, thus 
showing great activity, judgement, courage and 
excitability". 




SIZE OF BRAIN. 

A very large brain will measure 24 inches in 
circumference, from the forehead around the sides 
to the back part of the head, a large brain will meas- 
ure 23 inches, a full sized brain will measure 22 
inches, an average sized brain will measure 20 to 
21 inches, a moderate sized brain IS to 20 inches, 
a small brain 10 to IS inches, very small brain 1-4 
to 16 inches, and a person with a brain that meas- 
ures less than fourteen to fifteen indies usually have 
nothing but the inner, whitest brain and are idiotic 
and of the weakest minded class. Some idiots 

with very small brains will often have from three 
to live organs of the brain very large. | figure 8. 9 
or ten in size) and they will be rery bright in one 
or two ways. There was an idiot in Missouri that 



9.K 



had language well developed and calculation was 
as highly developed as figure 9 or 10, and he could 
add, divide, subtract and multiply very rapidly. 
Merchants and bankers would get him to count 
up their notes and bills, and the counting and 
summing up of their goods when invoicing. He 
was very rapid and generally very correct. He 
would count up long rows of figures nearly as fast 
as they would write down the answers and would 
talk quite freely, but could not understand the 
business in any form and had no power of mind. 
President Garfield had a brain 24 inches in cir- 
cumference and he had great power of mind in 
great and complicated affairs. 

To measure the brain take a string or tape line 
and start it at the front part of the brain one-half 
inch above the eye-brows and pass it on around 
the head horizontally just above the top part of 
the ears bringing the lines together at parental 
love just above the sharp bone in the lower back 
part of the brain. The larger the brain and the 
harder it is worked the more brain food and sleep 
you will need. People with an averaged sized 
brain will often be more brilliant, stirring, quick 
witted and active than a large or very large brain, 
but will not have that strong power of mind and 
that depth of understanding and far-seeing mind 
that a large or very large brain will possess. You 
notice that the Missouri idiot could count more 
readily and quicker than President Garfield, but 
the idiot could not be a statesman or have a mind 
to rule and govern a nation and understand com- 
plicated affairs like Garfield, President Cleveland 
and other great men or women. A large brain or 
(8 to 10 ) is adapted to a large wholesale business, 
6 to 8 retail and wholesale business, 5 to 6 small 



26 

retail business; smaller than this should work under 
others and be carefully taught and directed in 
such branches as are easily learned (The above 
measurement is meant for the brain of a full grown 
person. ) 

BRAIN NOT TOO LARGE. 

It has been thought by many that the brain is 
too large for the body, but as a rule that is a mis- 
take, the body being often too small We notice 
that imbeciles do not live to an old age even if 
well cared for as they have not brain enough to 
manufacture electricity and nervous power to 
keep the body up; to make it nervy, springy and 
active like such animals as the deer, rabbit and 
ratterier dog The fault is the brain is not prop- 
erly taken care of, or is dropsical or diseased in 
some other manner. I have taken particular no- 
tice of people that have small bodies and a full or 
large brain are the most active, nervy, stronger 
and healthier according to the size of their bodies 
than any other class of people, that is when all the 
functions are well cared for. The brain is the cen- 
ter of all the nerves and is the manufacturer of the 
nervous power and electricity for the body and 
brain. Now you see that a full sized brain will 
manufacture more nervous power and electricity 
for a small body than a small brain would Then 
remember that children that are born with weakly 
and sickly bodies are liable to die young even 
though their brain be large or small. Children 
with Large brains and small bodies should have an 
abundance of brain foods: no coffee or pork, plen- 
ty of rest, and sleep long enough to allow the 
brain to accumulate enough electricity and nervous 
power for their bodies. When old enough to study 



27 

do not let them study after night and only study 
according to the strength of the body and not the 
size of the brain. We will take as an illustration a 
person with one of their legs small and weak and 
the other large and strong. The large leg will 
help the weak one along if properly managed, but 
the large leg is not too large for the small leg bat 
the one is too small for the other. Now if both 
legs weak a person could not walk very far in a 
day, but if one of them was good and strong he 
would be able to travel quite a distance, but if he 
tries to make the weak leg hold out as long as the 
strong one he will overdo it and injure it And 
this is often the case with the body and brain. A 
large strong brain should aid and strengthen the 
weak body with electricity and nervous power. 
You should not exercise or study any or very little 
just before or an hour after meals so that the blood 
and electricity and nervous power can go to the 
stomach to increase your digestion; and in this and 
other ways the large brain will help the weak body 
like the strong leg would the weak leg. If a per- 
son studies too hard they use up all of the elec- 
tricity and nervous power and have none left for 
their bodies. People that have a great deal of the 
baain and nerve temperament combined with the 
fine grained temperament should be careful and 
not fret and worry as it will injure them more than 
any other class of people. We should all fret and 
worrjr as little as possible, for you know that the 
horse that worries and frets is the one that sweats 
and tires the quickest. Now reader do you want 
people with small bodies to have small brains and 
be idiotic. I want to see people with small bodies 
to have a full and well developed brain and their 
chance of living is more sure if their brains are 



28 

well taken care of when they are young and learn 
them to take care of themselves Avhen they get 
older A person with the brain fully developed is 
more intelligent and uses better judgment and 
consequently can do things easier and quicker thus 
saving the body. It will not help a small body 
that has a large brain to neglect the brain and not 
try to develop it. You should develop the brain 
as much as the body will permit, and the brain will 
in turn strengthen and save the body. 

We will take Tom Thumb as an illustration of a 
large or full sized brain and a small body. He was 
between two and three feet in height and built ac- 
cordingly, yet his brain was well developed and 
he did quite a business in the orange trade and 
owned a large orange farm, and he never was sick- 
ly. Do you think it would have been better for 
him to have had a small idiotic brain in compari- 
son with his body? I say not. Now reader if you 
have a small body and a full and large brain do 
not try to compress the brain but build up the 
strength of the body by using good healthy food: 
do not use any cold water just before or right af- 
ter meals for it chills the stomach and nearly stops 
digestion for a time; and work or exercise as much 
as your body can stand. Sometimes the nerves 
and spinal column are too weak and small and will 
not carry all the electricity and nervous fluid to 
the body and consequently the body is not active 
and strong as it should be. Then where the brain 
is large and the body small the person needs more 
of a change of studios, scenery and thoughts than 
others thai arc more evenly balanced. A diseased 

brain will often cause the body to become weak 
and diseased. For a strong and healthy brain yon 
want good healthy blood and nerves. The blood 



29 

feeds the brain and and good nerves carry the 
electricity to the body freely whenever needed 

The above is especially meant for any person 
with a small or a weackly body, bnt it will also ap- 
ply to others in many ways and will not need to 
be applied so carefully to people in general. 

THE BRAIN AND ITS ORGANS. 

SOCIAL ORGANS. 

There are five social organs, viz : Amative- 
ness, Conjugality, Parental Love, Friendship 
and Inhabitiveness. A pe*rson with strong so- 
cial organs will be a lover of home, country, 
family, friends- , children, society and the oppo- 
site sex. If they are wrongly cultivated, di- 
rected and controlled the person will follow bad 
company and their sinful ways, and have a de- 
sir-- to be running after company when they 
ought to be taking care of that which is good and 
useful. If they can visit g >od company and be 
learning and doing that which is useful and good 
when circumstance? are favorable, then it is all 
right with them. When the social organs are 
small in a person he does not care much for the 
social ways which are described above, and is 
sometimes abusive to family and children. 
These organs are located in the back and lower 
part of the brain or head 

1, Amativeness. — Love of the minds and so- 
ciety of the opposite sex. 

2, Conjugality. — A strong love for one of the 
opposite sex and for a life companion, a desire 
to be mated When large and not rightly con- 
trolled, cultivated and directed in one, they coil- 
nrit suicide, or go insane, or pine away be- 



30 



cause they cU not get the one they loved so well 
or was disappointed by the one they became at- 
tached to. When small one is changeable or is 
not firm in their love if not rightly directed or 
combined with other organs, especially friend- 
ship and moral organs. 

3, Parental Love. — A desire and love of 
children, pets, and the animals their young. 
Wrongly directed, controlled and cultivated, 
petting and spoilins children by permitting 
them to have their own way too much, over- 
feeding with things that are injurious and tak- 
ing their part when they are wrong. When 
small, if not rightly controlled, cultivated and 
directed has not patience enough with chidren 
and does not give them proper care, is often 
cross with children and too exact and particu- 
lar. Make your children obey that which is good, 
useful and right, be kind to them and permit 
them to have good, happy enjoyment and health- 
ful exercise ai proper times and places, even if 
they do make a noise. 

4, Friendship. — When strongly developed 
gives a strong love for a friend or friends and 
often a str ng attachment to dogs, also love of 
company and society — love of friends with no 
regard to sex. Not rightly controlled and di- 
rected one is led into wicked and foolish ways 
by wicked and foolish companions and friends. 

5, [nhabitiveness. — Gives a desire and love 
for a home, and a person with this organ larger 
than the others thinks that "be it ever so hum- 
ble, there is no place like home,'' and is liable 
to become homesick if long away from home. 
Wrongly controlled or cultivated one cheats 
other people out of their money or property to 



31 

get a home for themselves. When small and 
not properly cultivated and combined with other 
organs it gives a roving disposition and a per- 
son is not inclined to settle down in one place 
for life just for the sake of a home. 



6, Continuity.— When large gives a desire to do 
one thing at a time and to keep the thoughts on 
one subject until it is well studied over. It gives 
patience to wait and prevents all other organs 
from acting so quickly and changing so rapidly 
from one thing to another. Small ; you have 
"too many irons on the fire at once," and you 
are too changeable in work, studv and thoughts 
to follow an occupation which requires long con- 
tinued patient work or study. 

7. Vivativeness. — <»ives love of life for life's 
sake and you dread death even if in poverty, 
sickness or failure. Small and not rightly di- 
rected and cultivated you do not care much 
whether you live or die and often commit sui- 
cide in time of failures, distress or disappointed 
love. 

8. Alimentiveness. - You have a great love of 
seeing food and drinks and storing food for fu- 
ture use. A person with large alimentiveness 
would rather manufacture or deal in eatables 
than anything else even if he had a better 
occupation If it is wrongly directed and culti- 
vated a person eats and drinks too much and 
that which is not fit to eat just because it looks 
good. 

9. Acquisitiveness — Givss a desire for wealth, 
to save and lay away for the sake of acquiring 
wealth ; you do not like to see things wasted. 
When wrongly directed and cultivated it causes 



32 



greed, theft, a miserly disposition and too great 
a desire for property by neglecting other good 
and useful things too much. With acquisitive- 
ness small you are liable to be a spendthrift also 
wasteful of time or mone} 7 if not properly cul- 
tivated. If you do not care for wealth or to 
economize do not spend your time or money for 
things that are injurious, degrading and sinful, 
but lay away for old age, sickness or stormy 
days also to aid people along in their good and 
useful ways. 

10. Executives ess. — Gives promptness, thor- 
oughness and energy, gives a person a through- 
going nature, great courage in time of trials, helps 
to endure pain when need be, gives a person pow- 
er to overcome temptations and difficulties, but if 
wrongly directed it causes murder, revenge cruel- 
ty and a boisterous, furious nature. When execu- 
tiveness is small a person is weak in this direction, 
but with the other organs well developed and well 
directed and trained they can fill many important 
positions but will not be so great in some places as 
if their executiveness was large. 

11. DEFENSITIVENESS. — Gives great earnestness, 
energy, force, courage, opposition, resistance, a de- 
sire to debate, argue, defend and protect yourself, 
home and country, gives a pushing', go-a-head dis- 
position, but if wrongly cultivated and not prop- 
erly controlled causes fighting, high temper, fiery, 
mad disposition and is easily insulted. When de- 
fcnsilivcncss is small a person is weak in this di- 
rection and are not naturally energetic, fond of ar- 
guments and debates, etc., and should carefully 
cultivate themselves in fche right direction. 

Defensitiveness is more Cor fche using of light 
articles and giving quick, sharp, decisive blows; H 



argues with great earnestness and the words seem 
to come oat like a knock and sometimes sharp and 
piercing Executiveness will want to use heavy 
articles and do things in a pushing, thorough man- 
ner if it does take more time; and are more for 
prosecuting and driving things through and does 
not like to argue or debate. These organs are large 
in great reformers like Martin Luther, D. L. Moody 
and President Cleveland and others. 

12. Secretiveness — Gives the power to con- 
ceal the thoughts and actions, to be calm, quiet 
and reserved and helps a person from being rash, 
passionate or outspoken. When wrongly direct- 
ed and cultivated you will practice deception, 
hypocrisy, double-dealing or have a foxy nature 
just for the love of being so. When small you are 
we a i in this respect and cannot keep a secret 
well unless you exercise good, moral and com- 
mon sense judgement to avoid trouble. 

13. Cautiousness. — Gives a desire to be care- 
ful, cautious and watchful of dangers and diffi- 
culties. When wrongly cultivated you have too 
much dread and fear of danger and trouble and 
look at mole hills as if they were mountains — 
you are in 'hot water" too much. When small 
and wrongly cultivated you are rash, reckless 
and do not look out for dangers ahead — look at 
mountains as if they were mole hills, if good 
judgementis not used. We must bear in mind 
that often where there is nothing ventured there 
is nothing gained ; and we must also remember 
that if we go at work, study orbusines recklessly 
and carelessly with our eyes shut we will often 
get nothing after we have ventured and worked 
hard, and sometimes are left, as the saying is, 
K in hot water," 




34 



14. Approbattvexess. — Gives a desire for 
honor, public opinion and a good name, also 
ambition and a desire to excell and rise in the 
world and be in the front ranks in life and gives 
a person a more pleasing and elevated nature. 
When wrongly cultivated and directed it gives 
one a boastful nature and they try to tear down 
others' good works, character and good name 
for the purpose of getting a high sounding name 
for themselves. When small you do not care 
much for name or honor or to be in the front 
ranks, and if not careful you will not be pleas- 
ing and elevated enough in your ways and 
thoughts, will not have a good character and 
then if you get blame or praise you will be able 
to go right on to success. 

15. Self Esteem. — Gives self reliance, self re- 
spect, self confidence, manliness, love of liberty 
and a desire to command, govern and lead oth- 
ers, or to be some high ruler. When small you 
have not much desire in this direction. When 
wrongly cultivated and directed you are too 
haughty, overbearing and dignified to humble 
yourself to do and see to small, useful and good 
things. 

1G. Firmness. — (lives a steady, persevering na- 
ture ; you are firm and steadfast in purpose and 
belief until convinced differently. . When small 
you arc weak in this direction. When wrongly 
cultivated and directed gives a person a stub- 
born disposition ; you are stubborn and contrary 
and will not yield when they know they are 
wrong just for the sake of being contrary and 
Btubborn. 

17 Conscientiousness. — Gives a Feeling for 
justice and right and sense of duty; you are very 



35 



exact in dealing because it is right. When small 
you will not be so exact in your dealings and 
ways, but with other moral organs well trained 
you will be good, and will not be just for jus- 
tice's sake but because it pleases you to be so. 
When wrongly cultivated and directed you will 
be too ready to blame and censure and to ask for 
things to be made exact when it cannot be done 
under the circumstances. 

18. Hope. — Gives expectation of success, 
hopefulness and cheerfulness of mind and look- 
ing forward for a land of plenty. When small 
you will often get the "blues," and look on the 
dark side too much when by your judgement 
you cannot see things moving rightly. When 
wrongly cultivated and directed you build air 
castles and live in great hope of things without 
using industry, good judgment and morality to 
get them. 

19. Wonder. — Gives a belief in the unseen, a 
desire to look into the great future, also a belief 
in strange and wonderful things, new ideas, in- 
ventions and improvements and in a life beyond 
the grave. When small you will not believe so 
much in the unseen, but will believe more bv 
history, experience, observation, comparison and 
teaching. Cultivate it by looking over the past 
and see what wonderful things have been done 
and then look into the future and see what great 
things might be done in improvements, educa- 
tion, morality and religion. When wrongly di- 
rected you believe in fortune telling, ghosts, 
witches and read novels, &c. Think and prac- 
tice morality, read the Bible and keep all trashy 
thoughts and reading away. 

20. Veneration. — Gives great respect for peo- 



36 






pie, Especially old people; it causes the other 
natures to be more yielding and of a humbler 
and easier nature, and one worships with great 
reverence. When small you will be naturally 
weak in deep respect for the great, good and 
old and will not have a natural and deep wor- 
shiping feeling that comes by instinct. If 
rightlv cultivated and directed you will pray by 
faith and love and have a deep experience with 
God's spirit. When wrongly cultivated and di- 
rected you are too much inclined to hold to 
old things and customs when the new are the 
best; also to worshiping idols, moon, stars, &c. 

21. Benevolence.— Gives sympathy, kindness, 
philantrophy, tenderness, a desire to help the 
needy, to do good and be liberal. Wrongly cul- 
tivated and directed you nre led into bad ways 
by stealing from one and giving to another, and 
having too great a kindness for sinners and leav- 
ing them go unpunished when you should use 
justice and punishment. When small you are 
weak in this disposition. 

22 Constructivenicss - Gives mechanical -kill, 
taste and ingenuity, gives a desire for the use of 
tools, to construct and work at machinery; it 
aids in inventions, improvements and in the 
construction of sentences and subjects and as 
sisfs in trades, professions and business. With 
a proper combination of temperaments and a, 
large and properly shaped brain, well culti- 
vated and directed you could become great aa a 
mechanical business man or a great manufac- 
turer <>t machinery. Wrongly cultivated and 
directed ; you think too much of mechanics and 
building when you ought to he obeying the 
heall hlawp and be cultivating the different j>:r!s 



37 



of the brain in refinement, taste, cleanliness and 
a good character. When small you will only 
care about machinery, tools, &c, when circum- 
stances are in your favor, or for a change and 
will not be skillful with tools and machinery. 

23. Ideality. — Gives the love of poetry, art, 
refinement and graceful ways in society and in 
public speaking. Gives great ideas and imagina- 
tions about things seen and unseen, When 
wrongly cultivated and directed you are too im- 
aginary when you ought to be seeing after the 
really useful, good and true pursuits. When 
small you will not be very much for high imag- 
inations. 

24. Sublimity — Gives love of wild and nat- 
ural scenery, such as mountains, water falls, 
rivers, lakes, &c, the grand, sublime and wild in 
scener}r.reading,engravings, and you love to hear 
thunder and loud roaring noises if you are not 
nervous and timid. When small you are weak 
in this direction. Wrongly cultivated and di- 
rected you are addicted to reading wild novels. 

25. Imitation. — Gives a desire to copy and imi- 
tate the good ways and customs of others. 
When wrongly cultivated and directed you are 
too much for following the injurious ways and 
fashions and mimicking peoples' good ways and 
construing them into bad ways. 

Agreeableness. — Gives smoothness of manner 
and the power to adapt ourselves to society in an 
agreeable way and gives pleasant and winning 
manners. When small you may have good behav- 
ior and manners but will not have smoothness and 
nice adaption. When wrongly cultivated and di- 
rected you try to make bad character good by 
making your conversation and ways smooth with- 



38 



out repenting or feeling sorry. 

27. Consistency. -Gives love of wit, funny 
stories, jokes and actions that are comical and 
you laugh at odd ways and enjoy a hearty laugh 
and merriment. When wrongly directed and cul- 
tivated you make fun of peoples' ways that are 
good just because they are not according to your 
custom, laughing at and tormenting people until 
they become angry. Do not laugh at and torment 
people who do not enjoy such things as you do; 
have peace before fun and jokes. 

INTELLECTUAL ORGANS. 

28 Individuality. — Gives a desire to see every 
little particular part and observe everything closely 
in all particulars on short notice and you gain 
knowledge rapidly by observing and listening 
closely. When not properly directed you are too 
much given to prying into things just for curios- 
ity. 

29. Form. — Gives perception and memory of 
forms or shapes aids in remembering names in 
writing, drawing, nourishing, &c When not 
properly directed you are too much given to such 
that will be of no benefit to you. 

30. Size. — Gives good judgment of the weight 
of things by observing their size, also gives good 
judgment of length, height, breadth, distance, 
fineness or coarseness of objects and articles. Not 
properly directed you give your attention to calcu- 
lating trivial things which will be of no benefit to 
you. 

31. Weight. — Gives a perception of the laws of 
gravitation, or the knowledge of the attraction and 
resistance of forces, especially iii steam and ma 
chinery; one can generally tell the weight of things 



3y 



well by lifting them, can balance and ride horse- 
back well; you will have good control over your 
movements and can plumb well; it also gives good 
judgment of perpendiculars. When wrongly di- 
rected you are in the habit of balancing, walking 
and climbing in dangerous places that are uncalled 
for. 

32. Color. — Gives a love, knowledge and mem- 
ory of colors, shades, tints and a love of flowers 
for the sake of colors. When wrongly directed 
you pay too much attention to flowers when your 
work, mind and money should be used in other di- 
rections. 

33. Order. — Gives system, method, arrange- 
ment, order, also gives a desire to have things in 
their places in a systematic arrangement for the 
sake of order and not for convenience. When 
wrongly directed you are too particular in regard 
to order without a view to convenience. 

34 Calculation. — Gives the knowledge of num- 
bers and the power to add, subtract, multiply 
and divide and to calculate and make estimations 
in work and business It has to be combined with 
other organs to work in higher mathematics. 
When wrongly directed you are liable to go into 
business on the strength of your calculations with- 
out understanding the business and its rules. 
If you have this organ small it would be of no use 
for you to undertake any occupation in which fig- 
uring or mathematical calculations are concerned, 
as in book keeping, &c. George Comb, a learned 
professor of phrenology, physiology and moral 
philosophy, had this organ very small and studied 
seven years at the multiplication table and then 
could not master it. By the advice of Mr. Spur- 
zium, a phrenologist, he used his larger organs of 



40 

the brain and studied phrenology, physiology and 
moral philosophy to which he was so well adapted, 
and became one of the most learned men of his day 
in those branches. 

35 Locality — Gives power to recollect places 
and the direction of them. One can locate them- 
selves well and do not easily get lost in new and 
strange places and countries. This organ enables 
persons and animals to take a bee line without 
landmarks to find his way When wrongly di- 
rected too much given to traveling and roving just 
for the sake of traveling, and getting no benefit 
and neglecting to prepare for sickness and old age. 

38. Eventuality — Gives a memory of happen- 
ings and events and gives a love of news and good 
old stories of our grandparents. When wrongly 
directed you are too much devoted to news and 
events without getting out the essence. 

37. Time.— Gives recollection of dates and time 
and enables you to note passing time; one has a 
love and knowledge of time in music for the sake 
of time and not harmony. Do not be too exact of 
time at all times and places. 

38. Tune — Gives the sense of harmonious 
sounds, love and knowledge of music, sense of har- 
mony and melody of music; it also gives the power 
to regulate the voice in reading and speaking if 
the throat and lungs are in a healthy condition 
Do not spend too much time and money for music 
as we cannot live just by music, and there are 
other good ways of enjoyment. 

39- Language.— Gives the love, talent and power 
to talk and to express the thoughts and knowledge 
to others, a'.so memory of words, love of reading, 
Speaking and hearing others speak and read 
When wrongly cultivated and directed you talk and 



41 

read just for the sake of talking aucl reading with- 
out any useful or moral benefit. 

40. Originality. —Gives a desire to find the first 
causes that produce or will produce inventions, 
improvements, knowledge, morals, religion or 
whatever it may be interested in. A person with 
this organ large wants the original and traces 
things to the beginning by philosophizing, hard 
thinking and planning. When wrongly cultivated 
one is given to theorizing and thinking without go- 
ing back to the causes and will have a drowsy, 
dreamy cast of mind When this organ is small 
a person will be weak in this direction and will 
want to know by observation, experience and prac- 
tice, just as the combinations and size of the or- 
gans and temperaments are. 

41. Compaeison — Gives a desire and power to 
compare, illustrate, explain, and classify ideas, 
facts and also things seen; to compare goorl with 
good, bad with bad when known to be so. One 
sees a resemblance in ideas, ways and opinions 
and readily sees analogy and logic. Yv 7 hen wrongly 
cultivated and directed you are addicted to fault- 
finding and criticism just because some people's 
useful ways do not work in harmony and compare 
with other people's customs and ideas 

42 Human Nature. — Gives a desire to study 
and watch the' dispositions, ways and actions of all 
living beings, especially of people and will be able 
to tell some of the leading dispositions of peoples's 
character by looking at them, hearing them talk 
and watching their actions. It is especially ad- 
dapted to reading the signs of health and diseases, 
and if this organ is rightly cultivated in a person, 
they will be able to read diseases like a book 
When wrongly directed one is given to tormenting 



4*2 



people, animals and many kinds of living things just 
to see how they will act and prying into people's 
character in a wrong way, also excessive fau.t find- 
ing and prejudice against a person's weak dispo- 
sitions, talents and knowledge that they cannot 
help that they have not the power of brain and 
body to perform You should study phrenology 
and temperaments and know how to judge people 
rightly in health and sickness 

EXPLANATION OF TERMS. 

The scale for marking the relative strength and 
activity of the different conditions of the body and 
faculties of the mind is from 1 to 10. The figures 
in this work are used in a specific sense only. 

The organs of the brain will manifest or show 
a good many dispositions by different combinations 
of organs working together in different ways and 
at different times, and a greater number of organs 
is used at some points than at others. 

1 Very small , is used when an organ is so small 
and poor that it would be very poor or weak in its 
functions and would not be capable of trades and 
professions. 

2 Small, denotes a feeble activity, not large 
enough to control or govern. 

3. Moderate, will do fairly well in trades or pro- 
fessions and character ii rightly cultivated and 
rightly directed. 

4. Average will be fair in character and hades, 
and will have a fair influence in all directions. 

5. Is a iiltle better and stronger than figure 1: 

one thai lias influence but Dot authority; is neither 

deficient DOT excellent 

6. I'ii; . win do well and learn and progress rap- 



*8 

idly; will have considerable influence, power and 
strength of character if properly cultivated in 
the direction of your best talents. 

7. Is somewhat stronger in character, trades or 
professions than figure 6, if circumstances are 
equal and are well developed and cultivated. 

8. Large, shows a great deal of power and 
strength of character; will excell if properly culti- 
vated; learn rapidly and become very good in 
trades or professions. 

9. Is somewhat stronger than figure 8, is ambi- 
tious and has great desires and tastes, one which 
is capable of distinguished and self-directing con- 
duct. 

10. Is very large or strong and is the greatest 
that can be attained. You w T ill be able to make 
good headway in all your pursuits; will be able to 
master great difficulties and make great improve- 
ments in the directions you are taught: when up 
to 9 or 10 in one or two organs or trades and pro- 
fessions and w r eak in all the other organs a person 
is liable to become so strongly attached to their 
professions or dispositions that they will overwork 
themselves and neglect the health laws and go 
insane if not well guarded and regulated. 

The brain is divided in two parts (called the 
right and left hem:" sphere) by a very thin mem- 
brane that commences at the top of the nose and 
runs through the middle of the brain from the 
front part to the back part. >So the left half of 
the brain has 42 organs and the right half of the 
brain has 42 organs, and of the same kind as 
the left side, or 84 combined. There are two 
organs of Hope, one on each half of the brain, 
and hope is located at the same place on the left 
half of the brain as it is on the right side of the 



±4 

brain, and it is the same with the rest of the 
organs. 

SIZE OF ORGANS. 

HOW TO JUDGE THE SIZE OF ORGANS. 

Do not think because you do not see bumps or 
hills or hollows that there is but little brain, but 
if all the organs are of the same size then the 
brain will be even and smoothly developed in all 
parts. If there is an organ or organs smaller in 
size than the organs around or beside them 
then there will be a hollow or sunken place or 
places where the smaller sized organs are, and 
there will be bumps or hills where the larger or- 
gans are. 

To judge the size of the organs of the brain the 
first way is by the size of the brain, the larger the 
brain the larger the organs; the second to take a 
line and start it at the opening of the ear and 
draw it straight up over the top of the brain and 
down to the opening of the other ear, then the 
larger the organs the farther forward and back- 
ward the brain will extend from this line, and the 
longer the line will be from ear to ear: then draw 
aline over the eyes back over the openings of the 
ears to the back part of the brain with the same 
angie the entire distance and the- greater the dis- 
tance above this line to the top of the brain the 
larger the organs are in the top of the brain, and 
the more rounding and higher the top of the 
brahi is the larger the organs are in that direction; 
then draw a line from the nose over the top of the 
head to the back pari of the brain, then the greater 
the distance from this line to the opening of the 
ears tin' larger the organs; the greater the distance 
through the brain from one side to the other the 



45 

larger the organs on the sides of the brain. The 
method that should be used mostly by all begin- 
ners is by taking the hands and feeling over the 
brain with the ends and balls of the fingers and 
try and find the size of each organ by seeing and 
feeling the distance the organ is developed from the 
lines just described, or the greater the distance 
from the lines to the outward part of the organs, 
or that part of the brain you are examining, the 
larger are the organs or brain at that part; or you 
can take the distance from the outward part of the 
brain to the lines if you like, it is all the same, and 
when you find a deep hollow or sunken place and 
then a large bump or hill then you may know that 
one organ is rather small and the other large. If 
the brain is evenly developed in all "parts and the 
distance is great from the lines to the outward 
part of the brain the organs are all largely devel- 
oped, and then the person would have a large 
brain; if the distance from the lines to the outward 
part of the brain be medium then the organs are 
of an average size, and if the distance be small 
the organs are small. It takes time, practice, tal- 
ent and experience to be a good phrenologist. A 
person should get a cast of the brain with all the 
organs of the brain marked and properly located; 
they cost from 50 cents to $5.00. The central 
lower part of the brain is white, and the outer por- 
tion is of a little darker color. The outer or dark 
part of the brain is that which produces the mind 
or thought; without the outer or dark colored 
part of the brain we would be idiotic; that is the 
reason why idiots have such small brains. To 
have much mind you must have a good deal of the 
grey brain, and without this you have a small 
brain and a small mind; the white brain aid- 



46 

ing and nourishing all the other parts of the 
brain. It is the organs of the brain that makes 
the outer or darker colored portion of the brain, 
so if you find a deep sunken place in the brain 
that it dips or reaches down to the white brain 
then you have no organ of the brain there to per- 
form those functions. It might be hope, eventu- 
ality, constructiveness, or time, etc The outer 
part of the brain is divided into 42 different parts 
and each part has certain kinds of mind, character 
and disposition to perform, and each part of the 
brain is called an organ. The brain is something 
similar to the body and the respective parts do 
their respective work and everything works nicely 
and we should try and make them work harmon- 
iously. Each one of the forty-two parts should do 
its own work and thej< are all formed to fit nicely 
and work together just like the different parts of 
the body. 

HOW TO FIND THE ORGANS OF THE 
BRAIN. 

Draw a line (the same as before) from the no3e 
over the top of the head to the back \rdvt of the 
brain to the sharp bony protuberance below Pa- 
rental Love. Not all people have that protuber- 
ance but when you do find it on some person you 
can easily tell thereafter how far down the brain 
nine. Now this line pusses over eleven organs of 
the brain. If the brain is large this line will gen- 
erally measure IT) inches, ami a full size I brain will 
measure 13 to 14 inches in this direction, The 
first organ that this line passes over is Individual- 
ity, located between the eyebrows; abo it an inch 

higher up in the center of the forehead is ESvetual- 



47 

ity which is generally smaller in the people of the 
United States than the other organs immediately 
surrounding it and creates a small sunken place 
where eventuality is located; about an inch fur- 
ther up in the middle of the upper part of the 
forehead is Comparison; next is Human Nature, an 
inch further up about where the hair begins or on 
the rounding part of the brain; next is Benevolence 
on the front top part of the brain; next comes Ven- 
eration located in the center of the top part of the 
brain; next is firmness on the top of the brain a 
little in front of the crown of the head where the 
hair parts in different directions, or a line drawn 
from one opening of the ear to the other will pass 
over the former line on the front part of firmness; 
the next organ is Self Esteem in the crown of the 
head, and the higher the crown of the head aboye 
the ears the larger is Self Esteem; about an inch 
below the the crown of the head is Continuity; an 
inch and a half lower near the center of the head 
is Inhabitiveness; the next and last organ on this 
line is Parental Love, one and a half inches lower 
than Inhabitiveness and just above the bony pro- 
tuberance in the back part of the head. We will 
now go to the front part of the brain and start a 
line from a point about an inch above the inner 
part of the eye bail and parallel with the former 
line The first organ on this line is Locality, lo- 
cated above the eye brows on either side of Even- 
tuality; then about an inch higher up and directly 
above the center of the eye bails on either side of 
Comparison is Originality, and it makes the upper 
and outer part of the forehead appear large when 
it is larger than the other organs that are around it; 
Time is located a little above the eye brow and 
over the outer part of the eye ball; Language is 



48 



located back of the eye ball and it grows forward 
and as it grows larger it pushes the eye ball for- 
ward; Form is situated at the base of the upper 
part of the nose between the eyes and pushes the 
eyes far apart and makes that part of the nose ap- 
peal' broad when Form is well developed. Size is 
located at the inner parts of the eye brows just 
between individuality and the eye socket; Weight 
adjoins Size just over the inner part of the eye 
balls in the eye brows; Color is located in the 
eye brows just over the middle of the eye balls ; 
Order is located in the eye brows adjoining Col- 
or, over the outward part of the eyeballs; calcu- 
lation is located at the outer part of the eye 
brows and the lower part of Calculation comes 
down as low o : a little lower than the outer op- 
ening of the eye, and when largely developed it 
fills out at the outer side of the eye, and when 
small the brain seems to go straight back from 
the outer part of the >ye. George Combs' brain 
at thid point extended but little beyond the 
eye balls and he consequently bad small Calcu- 
lation. Now we will compare the shape of the 
brain to the shape of a barn, the sides of the 
barn to represent the sides of the brain and the 
roof to represent the top part of the brain, the 
top of the brnin beginning where the brain be- 
gins to round toward the top part of the bead, 
and compare the pi ice where the top and sides 
of the brain come together to the place where 
the roof of the barn joins the sides. Now dnuv 
a line around the brain just where the sides and 
top come together (or where the roof of the barn 
joins the sides) at the same angle all th< way 
around and should come a little below'the crown 
of the head in the back part. We will call the 



■49 



center of the top of the brain as the ccmb of the 
roof. Now draw a line over the center of the 
top of the brain (or comb) from the front part 
of the brain to the back, or rrom one end of the 
comb ot the roof to the other, or the same line 
you first drew from the nose over trie middle of 
the top of the brain to the back of the brain. 
Now draw a line half-way between the line on 
top of the middle part of the brain, or comb of 
barn roof and the line around the plate of brain 
or barn, from the front part of the top of the 
brain to the back part of the top of the brain. 
Now this middle line is just like a line drawn 
along the middle of the barn roof from one end 
to the other end just half-way between the 
comb and lower part of the roof at the plate. 
Now draw a fourth line from one opening of the 
ear straight up over the top of the brain down 
to the other opening of the ear. Now where this 
fourth line crosses the middle line of the brain 
or roof, is Conscientiousness ; one and half inch 
forward is Hope. Hope is located on each side 
of the back part of Veneration. One inch for- 
ward of Hope is Wonder. This organ is located 
on each side of the front part of Veneration. 
One inch forward of Wonder is Imitation, lo- 
cated on each side of Benevolence; and between 
Benevolence and Ideality, one and a quarter 
inch forward of Imitation is Agreeableness. 
This organ is located just where the head rounds 
off, between the forehead and the top of the 
brain where the hair begins to grow, on each 
side of Human Nature. These organs are lo- 
cated on the middle line or the middle of the 
roof, half-way between the comb and the lower 
part of the roof. Now we will follow the third 



50 

plate line that is drawn around the brain just 
where the side of the brain begins to round off 
to form th«- top of the brain. Here we draw the 
fourth line from the opening of one ear straight 
up over the top of the brain down to the open- 
ing of the other ear. Now where the fourth line 
crosses the third line, directly above the ear on 
the pfatc line is Cautiousness; an inch a half 
forward on the plate line is Sublimity ; one inch 
and a half forward of Sublimity is Ideality; 
about one and a half inches in front of Ideality 
is Consistency; it is located jiu-t on the round- 
ing part of the brain between the upper part of 
the forehead and the upper part of the side or 
plate of the brain. 

We will now locate some of the organs in the 
bac ; part of the head : Start at the m'ddle of 
the back part of the ear and draw a line thence 
straight back to the back and lower part of the 
middle of the brain, or about where the brain 
and neck come together. Thn line will cross 
Amativeness ; it is located about two-thirds of 
the distance from the ear to the middle of the 
back of the brain ; then an inch straight up from 
Amativeness is Conjugality; it is situated at the 
side of Parental Love on each side of the brain; 
then a little more than an inch straight above 
Conjugality is Friendship; ir. is situated at the 
side of Inhabitiveness on each side of the brain; 
one and a half inches above Friendship is Ap- 
probativeness ; it is situated about one and a 
half inches outward from the crown of the head 
on each side of Self Esteem. Self Esteem is lo- 
cated in the crown of the brain between Appro 
b it iv'-ncs-'. Tin- organ of Alimentiveness is lo- 
cated one inch in front of the upper half of the 






51 

ear; Tune is located a little above and back of 
the lower and outer nart of the eyebrows and 
joins the temples. To find the organ of Con- 
t-tructiveness draw a line from the center of the 
forehead around the side to within about a half 
an inch above the upper extremity of the ear, 
and the line will cross over Constructiveness; 
now draw another line half way between the eye 
and ear straight upward, and where it crosses 
the first line you will find Constructiveness ; it 
joins and is partly above and back of the temple. 
The brain of a skillful mechanic is large at this 
organ. Executiveness is located just a little in 
front and at the top of the ears ; when large the 
brain is wide at this place Defensitiveness is 
located an inch back of the top p*.rt of the ears 
and back of Secretiveness ; v;hen large the head 
will be broad at this point and when small it 
will be narrow. Acquisitiveness is located one 
inch in front and one inch higher than the up- 
per extremity of the ears. Secretiveness is lo- 
cated a little back and an inch ab >ve the top of 
the ears ; druv a line from the opening of the 
ear to the crown of the head and it will cross 
Secretiveness ; it is just back of Acquisitiveness. 
Vivativeness is located back of the ears just back 
of the bony place which is behind the ears. 
These bony part-; are for the attachment of mus- 
cle and are not organs of the brain. This bony 
partis larger in some persons than in others. 

Reader, I have given you the main rules to go 
by to find the organs of the brain. There are 42 
organs in the brain ; now the larger the brain 
the larger the organs and the distance will be 
greater from one organ to another when the 
brain is large than when it is small. T have laid 



o2 



down rules for finding the organs of a full sized 
brain, which is 22 inches in circumference, and 
equally developed in all parts. Now if the brain 
is larger than 22 inches the distance will be 
greater from one organ to anooher than that 
which I mentioned in my rules for finding the 
organs. If the brain is smaller than 22 inches 
then the distance will be less than I mentioned 
from one organ to another. Now reader, you 
can draw imaginary lines with your eyes if cir- 
cumstances will not allow them to be drawn 
with a tape or string, and you can also select dif- 
ferent places to start from or to go by than those 
which I men'ioned ; but I gave you a few of the 
best and you can select others that will be just 
as good to start from. Watch the different 
shaped brains and see the different kinds of 
character and temperaments, and observe how 
they affect the different persons possessing them ; 
also watch the health and diseases of people 
closely, as some people have well developed 
brains and would make a grand mark in the 
world if it was not for some disease that prevents 
them from using the very best part of their 
brains. As an illustration, we sometimes see 
persons who have the light temperaments and 
the proper shaped brains to become first class 
blacksmiths, but they may have rheumatism of 
the arms or a weak shoulder which prevents 
them from following the 'rade to which thev are 
so well adapted ; some may have catarrh of the 
nose aid head so badly that they cannot follow 
the studies or professions to which they are 
adapted. Catarrh of the nose and head will 
weaken the eves and general memon and Qanses 
headache. Bad teeth will cause some to huvu 



weak eves and bad breath or a deranged stom- 
ach. There have been people who h d large and 
well developed brains with a good combination 
of temperaments, who were making plow pro- 
gress in their occupations, and after receiving 
the proper care and treatment they became well 
and healthy and then would make rapid pro- 
gress There are some diseases that do not 
weaken and cause the brain to become dull and 
stupid but the mind remains clear and bright. 
Some diseases of the body work more on the 
brain than the body because the disease is on a 
set of sensitive nerves or nerve centers ; then if 
it affects the whole brain it may affect it in dif- 
ferent ways ; the disease may cause the brain to 
act in an irritable, dull, or stupid way and also 
causes the body to feel so. Thtn the brain is 
sometimes diseased in some parts that is not 
caused by the body being diseased.

HOW TO JUDGE THE BRAIN. 

If you see a person's brain that is broad and 
all parts of the sides of the brain are well de- 
veloped or filled up evenly, then you may know 
that all the organs that are located on the sides 
of the brain are 7 or 8 or large; then if some 
parts of the side of 1 he brain have a hollow or 
sunken place in then), or if the brain is narrow 
at some point in the sides, then the organ or 
organs, as it may be, are small at this point; 
and where the brain is of average width then the 
organs are of average size at this place. The in- 
tellectual organs arc all situated in the front 
part of the brain. The division of the brain 
known as the Intellectual Organs is con posed of 
the following organs, seventeen on each side or 
thirty-four in all: Consistency. Individuality, 
Form, Size, Weight, Color, Order, Calculation, 
Locality, Eventuality, Time. Tune, Language, 



55 



Casual ity. Comparison, Human Nature and 
Agree.-ibleness. The larger the Intellectual or- 
gans the larger the front part of the brain, and 
the distance will be greater from the ears to the 
front part of the brain ; there will be more of the 
gray brain and it will be deeper in the front part 
of the brain than in a person where the Intellect- 
ual organs are smaller, and where some of the 
organs are larger than others then the brain will 
extend farther forward in front of the ears, and 
the brain on the side of the intellectual organs 
will be wide. Where an organ is large there will 
more of the gray brain than when it is small. 
The Intellectual organs give the talent to be in- 
telligent and wise and the 1 power to understand 
and explain complicated affairs and to study 
all branches' of learning and all the branches of 
sciences that are to be studied, such as mathe- 
matics, philosophy, &c ; it gives the power of 
understanding to classify, arrange and improve 
things in an intelligent way; it gives the ability 
to go out into new fields and study up, invent 
and discover great, good and wonderful things 
that God has prepared for us. These organs are 
large in all great intellectual people; they were 
very large (or figure 10) in President Garfield. 
With >ut these organs, or the intellect, we would 
be nearly idiotic even if the other parts of the 
brain would be well developed The larger 
the intellectual organs the greater the intelli- 
gence if properly cultivated. People should not 
use these organs in reading trashy or foolish 
novels, but should only use them for improve- 
ment and advancement of yourself and others 
in all that is great and good, whether in small 
or large things We should get reading of the 



56 

very best kind in natural, moral and religions 
philosophy and keep your mind only on things 
that are pure, elevating, cheerful and of real value. 
It would b? an excellent thing if people would join 
in an educational school or department, like the 
Lake Chautauqua educational school. They will 
send excellent books to all parts of the country 
and will start you in any kind of studies that you 
seem to be adapted to and according to your edu- 
cation, and they will give you directions how to 
educate yourself the same as if you were in school, 
right at your home or wherever you may be, at but 
little cost as compared to some other unnecessary 
and wrong things that some indulge in. If some 
people would spend their money in this way for ed- 
ucation instead of spending it for tobacco, liquor 
and novel papers, they might be good, and useful 
people and have real true enjoyment and educa- 
tion. Save your money and educate yourself. 

Literary, Historical and Oratorical Organs. 

The Literary and Historical organs are that part 
of the intellect that are located on the sides of the 
middle front part and in the center and across the 
middle part of the forehead between the eyebrows 
and the top of the forehead. They consist of Lan- 
guage, Eventuaity, Time and Tune. The other 
organs gather and remember information and 
events and can commit very rapidiy and can teU to 
others what they know themselves; gives them the 
power to recall things readily whenever wanted. 
This part of the brain gives ;i person the talent to 
repeat a great many things word for word just as 
they heard or read them, and can often teil things 
really better than they know or can do them- 
selves; gives a love of music and the literary de- 



57 



partments, give the talent to be well informed in 
dates and happenings and to have all they know on 
the end of their tongue ready to slide off at any 
moment when needed. These organs are not 
adapted to deep, hard, studies and sciences such as 
philosophy, logic, mathematics or any thing that 
takes deep, hard planning and reasoning and they 
do not give practical talent and knowledge to 
know the quality of things. Persons with these 
organs moderate will be weak in literature, his- 
tory, dates, oratory, music, memory and will lack 
that brilliant and quick off-hand way of telling- 
things and at any moment, but if the other parts of 
the brain are well developed, cultivated and di- 
rected would know more in other directions and 
would not be able to talk freely to others about 
the subjects. 

Observing and Practical Organs. 
These organs are located around the eyes and in 
the eyebrows. They are Form, Individuality, 
Size, Weight, Color, Order, Calculation and Local- 
ity. The larger these organs are the farther for- 
ward will they extend over the eyes These or- 
gans give the ability and desire to observe things, 
to gain knowledge by observation, practice and ex- 
perience and gives the talent to excel in the nat- 
ural and common sciences in a practical way; gives 
the talent to learn the kind and quality of things 
by observation and practical experience, also to re- 
member well what they have seen or practiced or 
whatever they may be interested in, that is if prop- 
erly cultivated and directed. These organs when 
not properly directed in persons they are too much 
given to peeping and looking into things that are 
out of place and have too much of a prying nature 



58 

and take too nrueh notice of little trifling things of 
no value. These do not give the talent to study 
philosophy and the higher "branches or literary, 
history. &c. If these organs are small yoa will be 
slow to gather knowledge by observation and prac- 
tical expeiience, if the other intellectual organs 
are small. 

The Original and Logical Organs. 

These organs are located in the upper part of 
the forehead, and consist of the following: Orig- 
inality, Human Nature and Comparison. These 
organs give the talent for reason, philosophy, 
logic, theory, comparisons, chemistry and the 
power to learn and understand the higher branches 
of study. These organs are large in great original 
planners and thinkers and people who excel in the 
higher studies When not properly cultivated and 
directed yoa are too much given to theorizing and 
thinking without getting into facts and making- 
things practical. Think and philosophize wisely 
and truthfully. 

I have described the intellectual part of the 
brain very carefully and everybody should use the 
intellectual organs for studying, investigating, 
reading and watching things and ways that will 
make themselves and others wise and good and 
then use them to the best advantage you know 
how and not as the fashion is, and then watch 
carefully to sec what is the best way to find out 
what is wrong and avoid all such p aces and things 
and then when you Bee and know what is best and 
go right to wofk and practice it; that is what bhese 
organs were given for and remember that if we 
►d thou •!)( ni truth everyday, or 365 days 



5.9 

in a year, and then practice tkein it will improve 
us greatly. 

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ABOUT THE 
BRAIN. 

Some people do not believe in Phrenology be- 
cause they were taught by people who had formed 
wrong ideas about Phrenology or the brain before 
they had time to study the brain and its organs 
Then there are others who form their first thoughts 
or ideas of things, and then they think it is just 
that way and no other way would do. If a per- 
son does not compare and explain it just right in 
every particular point, and especially to suit their 
first thoughts, they will not believe anything. But 
we must go and see, study, learn and be taught 
how things are and do not sit down and believe 
that things are, and must be just as you think, and 
do not believe everything just because people say 
so, unless you know who it comes from and where, 
when and how. 

Some people say and believe that the brain is ail 
as one part and has no divisions and separate 
parts, and they think that a person has to use the 
whole brain to produce a single thought and that 
all kinds of studies require all of the brain to be 
worked alike at the same time; and some people 
say that because some can learn faster than others 
is just because they have better health or are more 
interested in their studies, or they have a larger 
brain to do more brain work, or they have a better 
teacher; and some say "why was the brain formed 
into different parts;" and others say "how can the 
brain grow in size when the hard bony skull is 
bound around the brain?" As the brain is divided 



into different parts or has forty-two organs, if 
we would use some parts or organs more than oth- 
ers those parts would grow larger and then the 
skull would have to grow larger at those places, 
and how could it grow larger in one part than in 
other paits. Some say they notice people with 
large brains that are not as quick minded or bril- 
liant and could not do as much brain work as some 
with smaller brains. I will explain how the differ- 
ent parts of the brain produce different thoughts 
and ideas, and will give you some good reasons 
why the brain is not all worked at the same time 
produce a single thought. We see some people 
that are very good in mathematics and are very 
poor in history and would be very slow in learning- 
it even when they try as hard to learn history as 
to learn arithmetic. If the brain is not divided 
into different parts to do different kinds of brain 
work, how does it come that some people under- 
stand and learn some things very quick and other 
tilings they learn very slow. If all parts of the 
brain has to be worked for every thought and 
idea and every different kind of study and if it is 
ail alike then why could we not all get interested 
and learn one kind of study as well as another. 
Some people go insane in some things and in other 
ways they are bright and clear If the brain was 
all one it would all be affected alike and they could 
not produce good sound thoughts on any subject, 
Some people who have been injured in the fore- 
head or front pari of the brain they would loose 
some pari of their knowledge or be weaker in 
mind and in sonic tilings and in other ways they 
would be as clear as ever. As an illustration we 

will take (he history a captain in the army in the 
lah' cuii war. Before going to the army he was a 



61 

carpenter and during a charge in battle he was 
struck in the forehead and stunned. Shortly af- 
terward he was returned and worked at his old vo- 
cation and became comfortably fixed in life. Nine 
years afterward he went on a trip to the Northern 
seas and accidentally fell overboard into the cold 
water and when they pulled him up he looked 
wildly around and exclaimed: "Where is my com- 
pany!" thinking that he was still on the battle-field 
and was in the fight. And his companions could 
hardly convince him that it was nine years since 
he was in the war — thus you see there was nine 
years of his life a total blank while some of his fac- 
ulties were as clear and good as ever. Some say, 
why was the brain so formed that different parts 
do different kinds of brain work ? I think one 
reason is that if we get injured in one part of the 
brain we would not loose all of our mind We 
might get our mechanical organs injured or de- 
stroyed then of course we couid not become a me- 
chanic, but we might have other organs left unin- 
jured. If so, then we would be able to do other 
business and work or follow different kinds of pro- 
fessions. If the brain was all one part and had to 
be worked or exercised at the same time to pro- 
duce a single thought or to study any one kind of 
study, then when we would change from one kind 
of study, business, or scenery, or change from one 
subject to another, what benefit would it be to the 
brain to change studies or any kind of brain work 
or thoughts if the brain was all one part; in that 
case the brain would all be worked alike and it 
would not get any more rest at one kind of study 
than at another, so what good would it do us to 
have a change of mind or study. But the different 
parts of the brain do different kinds of work and 



62 

produce different thoughts, so we can study math- 
ematics or arithmetic awhile and rest the other or- 
gans or part of the brain, and then when the math- 
ematical organs get tired or are worked enough we 
can take up some other kind of study of a different 
character so we can give the mathematical organs 
a rest. This is another reason why the brain was 
made of different parts, so we could rest one or- 
gan while we are working another part. And if 
the brain was all as one part then when you was 
studying mathematics all of your brain would get 
tired and would need rest and it would be injur- 
ious to the brain to take up some other study and 
work the whole brain continually; and if it was all 
one part it would be just as tired and overworked 
at one study as another if you would change stud- 
ies. There are some positions in life that require 
all parts of the brain to be worked hard, es- 
pecially if some of the organs are very small. 
When the brain is all tired or worked very hard a 
change of brain work does no good and we do not 
feel like doing any kind of brain work, but want to 
rest the brain by not studying, by keeping quiet 
and calm and sleeping awhile, and then when we 
get the whole brain rested Ave can start in fresh 
again When we use nearly all the nerves, mus- 
eles and bones of the body or the whole body to 
do some kind of hard work the whole body gets 
tired and of course the whole body needs rest, and 
a change of work would only rest the parts of the 
1) >dy not being exercised and some other i>arts of 
the body would not get rested unless they would 
i i dghi easy work. If we walk fast and get our 
and lower parts <>i our body tired we can rest 
>wer parte of our body by silting down to 
kinds of work- in which we would be using 



63 

our arms aiid chest or upper parts our body. 
When we use one part of the body awhile until it 
gets tired, and then if we use some other part of 
the body we rest that part that was tired; and if 
the body was all one part, like some people say 
the brain is, then ail the parts of the body 
would be worked alike and one part would be as 
tired as another part and what good would a 
change of work or exercise of the body be, because 
if our legs were tired we could not rest them by 
sitting down and working our arms, if the body 
was ad one part When some phrenologists and 
other people are asked why the brain was not made 
by God ad in one part and they can not give any 
reason why, then they think there is nothing in 
phrenology, but that is no proof. We have lungs, 
heart, stomach, etc., but tell me why all of them 
were not formed as one part to do all kinds of 
work. Or why was not the heart, lungs and stom- 
ach all made as one to digest the food, circulate 
the blood and do the breathing; and tell me why 
that all things were not made as one kind to pro- 
duce all things from one kind of material; and why 
does not a cherry tree produce all kinds of fruits; 
why does not a corn stalk produce different kinds 
of grain; why was not the elephant made to jump 
and leap like the rabbit God in his wisdom made 
all these things in different parts and ways and 
we must take them as they are and not as we think 
and believe they ought to be 

The skull grows in size to suit the size of the 
brain; just as the ribs, breast-bone, shoulders and 
back-bone grow in length and size to suit the 
lungs and heart. The bones at the -joints have a 
cup at the end of one of the bones and the other 
bone that is jointed or joined to it has a rounding 



64 

surface or ball on the end of it to fit in the cup of 
the other bone; now the cup and ball is small when 
the animal or person is young, but when they get 
older the cup and ball become larger; now we see 
that the cup or hollow in the end of one of the 
bones will have to grow larger to let the ball in 
the cup as it grows larger. Now we see plainly 
that the hollow in the end of one bone grows 
larger and gives the ball of the other bone plenty 
of room to work in. So that is the way with the 
skull, it grows larger just as the brain needs room. 
Then if you take a very young child and measure 
its bi ain then measure its brain every six or twelve 
mouths until the age of 18 or 20 years and you 
will see that the brain is increasing in size ali the 
time, and you will see that the skull will grow lar- 
ger as the brain grows larger to give it the room 
that is needed The skull will grow larger in some 
parts than in others. If you cultivate the front 
part of your brain the most, the skull will grow 
tiie most at that place, and the same way with all 
paa Is of the bj ain. Now reader look at the differ- 
ent shaped brains and see the different characters. 
God has made the laws of the body and brain to 
be just as they are, and we have to learn how to 
use and train them for the good of ourseives and 
others. Remember that God's Jaws and regula- 
tions move right onward and if we do not follow 
we will get leit behind in whatever we negiect; 
His Jaws are like liis time — they wait on no per- 
son; so reap while the harvest is here We often 
people with large brains but they do not make 
much headway in ail their lite and do not have 
much power of mind in any direction; their brains 
may be diseased, or they may have diseases of the 

body, or uughl have too much of the Lymphatic 



05 

temperament which will make the body and brain 
more soft and weak, or some of the other tempera- 
ments may not be property combined, or they may 
not be eating the proper kind of food, or may not 
be taking the proper care of themselves and may 
not be properly educated and directed, and there 
aa-e other causes. Some people may have large 
brains and a power of mind and understanding in 
some direction or other, and may not get around 
very much to get much honor and name — some 
people have more honor and name than brains. 
We see some people who have large brains who do 
not seem to be doing much, but after while we see 
them come out with some great invention or im- 
provement or they may manifest themselves with 
great power when once prepared. 

If a person happens to get hurt by a fall or 
blow on the right half of the brain and thereby 
one or more organs are destroyed or injured, he 
can go on with his studies, teachings, or profes- 
sion with the same kind of organs that are not 
hurt on the left side of the brain — just the same 
as if one has his right hand cut off he can use 
his left hand to lift things with. I take this as 
a necessary provision in nature, the brain being 
divided into two parts and having two organs of 
each kind - so if a person gets the Mathematical 
organ injured on one-half ot the brain he can 
use the organ on the other half of the brain and 
go on with his mathematics, unless he received 
such a heavy fall or blow as to injure the whole 
brain. 

Some people say "Why is it that the largest 
brains do not always do the most brain work?" 
Neither do the people with the largest bodies do 
the most physical labor, nor does the largest stom- 



6G 

ach digest the most. The largest brain is not al- 
ways the healthiest and strongest, neither are the 
largest lungs the healthiest and strongest: and a 
person with a large brain may have too much of 
the Lymphatic temperament and then cannot do 
as much brain work as a person with a full sized 
brain; or the person may have the Coarse Grained 
temperament strongly marked, with a large brain, 
if so they could not do as much brain work as a 
person with a full sized brain with a Fine Grained 
temperament. A person with excitability and ac- 
tivity weak with a large brain would be too slow 
and would not be warmed and stirred up enoughs 
or they may not be eating the right kind of food 
or may not be taking proper care of their health 
in other ways or they may not have been well 
trained and directed in the way of their best tal- 
ents; and then we have people with large brains, 
who have great brain power and have given to the 
world some great and good thoughts and did great 
and good works, which were done by their largo 
and well cultivated and prepared brains and could 
not have been done with an average sized brain 
no difference what the training, health and tem- 
peraments would be Then it must be remembered 
that a person with a small or nearly idiotic brain 
could not be as great as President Garfield, Ben- 
jamin Franklin, Daniel Webster or President 
Cleveland no difference under what circumstances. 
A person with a largo or very large brain cannot 
do everything at every place; they may have a 
powerful understanding and talent, but still there 
are things which they cannot accomp ish Ail the 
people put together cannot accomp ish or change 
some tilings, and therefore we must not expect one 
person to accomplish them The more the brain 



(57 . 

is cultivated in the higher studies the higher and 
purer will be the thoughts, and the better a per- 
son obeys the health laws, the more rapidly the 
parts or whole brain will grow in size and strength 
if a person is not too old If a person is over 25 
or 30 years old then the brain or some parts of it 
will not often get larger, but will grow more active, 
compact and of a finer quality. The more the 
brain is cultivated the thinner the skull gets. You 
take savage, wild or barbarous people like the In- 
dians or lower classes of negroes in Africa and 
their skulls are from three to five times as thick 
as our best moral and refined people. Then 
if only one organ is cultivated the most that 
part of the skull over that organ will be the thin- 
nest and the skull will get larger for that part of 
the brain to grow. The skull is something similar 
to a hornets nest in this respect; as the organs of 
the brain need room the skull wears away on the 
inside and grows on the outside, just like the hor- 
nets do with their nest, as they want room they 
take off the inside of their nest and build on the 
outside. I have seen some persons that some or- 
gan or organs of their brain would increase one 
figure in size by properly training themselves from 
15 months to 2 years time, and this will be seen 
P-ainly in the best schools in the South where 
some phrenologists and others have measured the 
brains of negroes. In the last ten years their 
brains have increased rapidly, but not in all parts, 
some parts of the brain growing faster than oth- 
ers. I mean those that were willing and tried to 
do the best they could, but others who would not 
try much to improve themselves there was but lit- 
tie change m their sku^s. The brain has furrows 
ox convolutions in the gray part and are filled. 



68 

with a liquid in color and thickness something 
similar to milk, and are deeper and greater in num- 
ber in people than in animals and are deeper in 
well educated, temperate and civilized nations than 
m wild and barbarous people. The larger the 
brain the deeper the furrows if properly cultivated. 
The larger the brain the deeper the gray part, so 
the furrows can dip down deeper in the brain as a 
person cultivates it. Take a person with the brain 
of full size, who is well educated in everything 
that improves them, will have the furrows deeper 
than a person with a full sized brain who does not 
cultivate himself much. The furrows never dip 
deeper than the gray part of the brain, are rather 
shallow hi animals and about the same depth all 
over the brain, but in man they vary greatly in 
depth; in some parts of the brain they are deep 
and in others they are shallow, just as the size and 
cultivation is. This is another ' proof of phrenol- 
ogy- The animals are only capable of cultivating 
one part of the brain very little more than another, 
but man can cultivate an organ or set of organs 
more than another. If a person has an evenly devel- 
oped brain and all parts cultivated alike the fur- 
rows will be of about the same depth; then if a 
person would get to studying and working at ma- 
chinery most of the time the mechanical organs of 
the brain would have deeper furrows than others. 
Now if the brain was not divided into organs hov» 
could one part of the brain nave deeper furrows 
than another* The deeper the convolutions the 
thinner the skull generally is at different parts in 
the same person -a hen caused by cultivation. The 
deeper and greater the number of furrows the 

'■ brain fluid they contain and the more brain 

Face there will be; so the more brain fluid and the 



69 

greater the brain surface there is the greater 
amount of brain work can be done. 

The right half of the brain governs the left half 
or side of the body and the left half of the brain 
governs the right side of the body; this is because 
the nerves cross over to the right side of the body 
from the left side of the brain; whenever the left 
half of the brain is paralyzed the right half of the 
body is paralyzed; likewise with the right side of the 
brain. Either half of the brain is liable to the same 
disease. The left half of the brain is generally 
larger than the right half ; that is the reason the 
right half of our bodies is stronger and from 3 to 
8 pounds heavier than the left half, and this is an- 
other proof that a large sized brain is not injuri- 
ous to a small body, but is favorable to any sized 
body if properly cultivated and directed. If a full 
or large brain is injurious to an average or small 
body, then why would not the left half of the brain 
by being larger cause the right side of the body to 
be the weakest (see page 26). It has been noticed 
that if people got neuralgia of the brain they would 
loose that knowledge and thought that comes 
from that part of the brain that was affected; then 
as soon as the pain left them their knowledge and 
thought would return. Then sometimes an 
organ becomes diseased on one side of the brain 
and they would go right on with their work with 
the organ on the other side of the brain. 

Now as an illustration to prove that the brain is 
not all in one part, but is divided into separate or- 
gans, (to which I referred in former pages) we 
will take for example George Comb, the Phrenolo- 
ogist, who studied the multipication table seven 
years and could not master it, had a large brain 
and a fine grained temperament. Some people 



70 

who do not believe in phrenology might say "look 
at that large brain, it cannot do much;" bat the 
trouble was that Comb was using that part of his 
brain which was small, (see page 39 but see how 
rapidly he advanced in phrenology and moral 'and 
religious philosophy. If the brain was all in one 
part, why couid he not have advanced in arithme- 
tic when he studied just as hard?

Opposite to the name of each organ I have 
placed figures to indicate your development in that 
trade. Figure 1 indicates very poor development 
and that you are hardly able to do the simplest 
part of any work assigned to you, while figure 2 
indicates an improvement over figure 1, and so on 
with each figure to the figure 10, which indicates 
the highest state of development attainable. 
When the figure 10 is used it indicates that you 
are remarkably refined, have lofty aspirations, and 
if industrious you will become one of the very best 
at your trade or profession. 

People are not born with a complete trade or 
profession. They are generally born with good 
bodies and brains. To become good at some trade 
or profession they must form good habits and 
work under good teachers and apply themselves 
diligently to the work before them, and before set- 
ting themselves up in business they must be thor- 
ough masters of their trade or profession. 

A person must remember and take particular no- 
tice where they are marked for a trade or profes- 
sion and the kind and what place or part of that 
trade or profeession they are best adapted to 
Suppose a person had a very coarse grained tem- 
perament he could not do fine work and finish by 
his own knowledge or talent; then if he was 
)] larked for a mechanic he must remember that 
would mean ;i mechanic at the coarse or rougher 
parts of the work, such as making common farm 
wagons and doing the rougher repairing, building 
common bains, farm work, &o. Then if you were 
marked for a mechanic and had a line grained tem- 
perament you could work at the fine work and do 
the finishing part and would advance rapidly. 

When von are marked for a business, see if it is a 



75 

a wholesale or retail, then you should look to the 
circumstances, location and different other things. 
Suppose a person would start up a business at a 
certain place and the people there did not use 
what he dealt in, then he would fail in that local- 
ity, or some one else might have got the start. 
Some people have advanced rapidly and were do- 
ing well and then failed after a time, and the rea- 
son was that they lacked the proper organs or 
health; but with others it was dishonesty and 
drinking, and others have met with debt and differ- 
ent complications in' business. 

Some people have organs to be expert at only 
one or two things, while others have the organs to 
become good at quite a number of trades and 
professions, also good at different kinds of work 
and would be handy people in most places. Some 
persons have the organs to become good at different 
things, but their temperaments are of such a com- 
bination and their excitability and activity so weak 
that they cannot work, study and think rapidly. 
Such persons should not have many things to see 
to at a time and should have plenty of time to do 
them. Such persons should make a special study 
of one kind of work for life, as life is too short for 
slow people to become good at many things. 
Some persons are slow bat true in their work. 
There are other people with small brains who are 
slow, do their work poorly and are not adapted to 
fine and correct work. Remember that the very 
best of people are liable to fail under some circum- 
stances and will make a few mistakes sometimes; 
but people with large brains will move right on at 
something, generally Some persons are good at 
certain kinds of trades, professions and work, but 
they have not the good management: that is, they 



70 



may have every part of their trade well learned 
but they could not manage or oversee the work. 
Such persons should work under good managers. 
There are others who are poor workmen but would 
make good overseers and managers; then there are 
still others that are good at both. There are peo- 
ple who are rather poor in everything; if such per- 
sons are put under good teachers to show them 
how to do their work and help them to do the 
difficult and particular parts, they can be made 
useful in different ways and may be able to do a 
great deal of work. A person may have a good 
brain to be a contractor, builder, business man, 
manufacturer or overseer; if he has a mechani- 
cal brain he would be a good contractor, builder, 
manufacturer or business man in mechanics. Tl 
a person had a poorly developed brain for farm- 
ing then be would not be good to oversee and 
manage a farm. Most people when they change 
from one occupation to another they often get 
tired and give it up, supposing that they were 
not adapted to that occupation that they had 
wished to follow and seemed to be well adapted 
to. There arc; different, reasons for this, and 1 
will explain some of them. Often thefirst thing 
is that th< i work is so much different from what 
they had been doing that before they were 
accustomed to their new work they became dis- 
couraged and went hack to their old place; hut 
that does not prove that they would not have 
made a success at their new place. Now if a 

person is better adapted to a trade or profession 

than that which he is at he must expeel it to go 

a little hardat ins new place at first, especially 

if there is much difference in the occupations. 
A person may have a brain and body better 



77 



adapted to education than wood chopping or 
stone cutting. If a person had always worked 
at wood chopping or stone cutting it would go 
very hard with him at first if he took up education. 
This means that peopJe who have properly de- 
veloped brains and temperaments can become so. 
There are other people who are adapted to certain 
trades and professions, but by being where they 
were confined too much their health failed and 
they had to quit, but afterward they got into 
places where their health was better cared for 
and then they did well. If scholars would be 
reading, writing or studying and keeping their 
minds employed in good studies and thoughts 
before they would start to school during their 
vacations it would help them greatly, as they 
would have their minds partly broken in to go 
to work, because if they do not look over their 
studies during a vacation it will take a week or 
more to get to where they quit their studies. 
Just the same as a person who was following a 
profession and in some future time expecting to 
be a farmer ; now if the person, when he had an 
idle hour, would practice using tools and differ- 
ent kinds of implements it would help greatly to 
toughen his hands to work on the farm and they 
would not blister near so easily ; he would also 
have his muscles strengthened and would not 
tire so easily, by having -the muscles partly 
trained. So that is the way w T ith a person going 
to school or at different trades or professions; 
if a person takes an interest in his occupation 
and continues to study right along when he 
has time, whether he is employed at his 
occupation or not, his mind will be better 
adapted to go back to work. So reader, if you 



78 



change from one place to another and know that 
you are better adapted to the latter, stick right 
to your place and go right on, if you don't feel 
satisfied at first. As an illustration ; there was a 
young gentleman of my acquaintance who 
worked at a mechanical trade and did very well, 
but went into the clothing business, and at first 
he felt discouraged and restless because he did 
not have the same kind of exercise for his body, 
and felt like going back to his trade ; but he was 
urged to stick to his new place until he would 
get used to it and understand his business. He 
did so, and after awhile he began to like it bet- 
ter than his old trade, and succeeded better. 
We should watch, cultivate ourselves and oth- 
ers well in religion, morality, good habits, health, 
cleanliness, good management, industry, edu- 
cation, good common sense and leave all kinds 
of drinks alone that will intoxicate, but above 
all things is a good, moral and religious charac- 
ter. Then the second important part of our 
training should be in cultivating the largest or- 
gans of our brains the most and keep them 
well directed, that is the organs for work, trades 
and professions, and do not take much valuable 
time in cultivating your weak or small organs, 
that is for trades, professions ind different kinds 
of work. Suppose a person had the organs of 
the brain well developed tor a mechanic and 
had the organs lor history small; now if the 
person would use his mechanical organs they 
would make rapid progress, that is if they were 
well cultivated and directed, and would do a 

great amount of labor and do it well, would be 
able to command good, high wages so that he 
^<>iiM make «i goon living and lay awav money 



79 



besides for a home, sickness and old age, also 
for the help of others in time of need ; and there- 
fore by using the larger organs of the brain you 
would be able to do more and better work for 
the people and earn more for yourself. 

Now suppose a person had the mechanical 
organs well developed and the historical part of 
his brain was small or moderate and would have 
followed the study of history for a living and 
left the mechanical organs be idle ; see what a 
difference. The person would have studied hard 
and made slow progress and could not have ad- 
vanced in the higher parts and would hardly be 
able to make a living even in times of prosper- 
ity, and then would have nothing left for old age, 
sickness, &c. ; he would have studied too hard 
and would have over-taxed that weaker part of 
the brain, would not have cultivated the other 
parts of the brain and would not have had time 
to rest, sleep and obey the health laws rightly. 
Take, for instance, George Comb. He studied 
seven years at the multiplication table and could 
not master it; now if he would have followed 
mathematical pursuits for a living see how slow 
he would have advanced, and would likely have 
starved to death or would have earned such 
small wages, would have had to study hard and 
would not have time to change "studies and 
thoughts for a change of mind and the improve- 
ment of himself; in other words, he would not 
have been able to do enough work in figures to 
enable him to live well and help benefit other 
people. He would not have been as well con- 
tented as if he would have been using his larger 
organs. Mr. Comb changed from mathematics 
to physiology, phrenology and moral and relig- 



80 



ious philosophy, in which he advanced very rap- 
idly, and after a few years began to teach and 
write and became one of the best learned and one 
of the best teachers of his day ; he wrote four 
books on his studies and became quite wealthy. 
Now see what a great difference with the same 
person with equal opportunities, except that in 
the first start he used the small organ and in 
the second he used the large organs ; he did a 
great amount of good and could accomplish a 
great deal in a short time so then he would have 
plenty of time to study different other things 
for a change of mind if necessary, and have time 
to cultivate and strengthen the smaller organs, 
and to eat, rest and sleep. So you can easily 
see if a person uses the largest organs the most 
and keeps them properly directed that it would . 
be the best ; but if an organ is large or small, 
a person should keep it properly directed, and 
whatever kind of work a person does with an 
organ or organs, whether it or they be large or 
small, let it be something that is beneficial and 
good and by using the larger organs of your 
brain you can advance so much faster at what- 
ever you are at, do more in a shorter space of 
time and be bettter contented, as the larger the 
organs the greater the enjoyment, or the more a 
person will he interested, if the organs are prop- 
erly cultivated and directed, Mr. Comb tried 
as hard to Btudy the multiplication table with 
Jalculation small as he did t> study the other 
branches he advanced so rapidly, hut he was 
not near so well contented at the multiplication 
table as the other studies. A person with the 
mechanical organs small does not enjoy him" 
self with a mechanical trade or with machinery 



81 

as well as persons with large mechanical organs ; 
if the organ of language is small a person will 
not like to talk just for the sake of talking as 
well as one with full or large Language and will 
not be so well contented, and so on all through. 

A WISE FARMER. 

There was a man in New York who had worked 
at a trade and laid away, a nice little sum of 
money, and being desirous of becoming a farmer 
he came to Ohio and hired tor low wages to a 
very good farmer in order to learn how to buy a 
farm and farm it successfully. When he had 
learned how to farm well, he got his money, 
bought a farm and is now one of the best of farm- 
ers. 

Now the advantage of being under a good 
teacher may readily be seen when a person is in- 
dustrious and is willing to. learn and is adapted 
to the work or study they are at. People had 
better think of this man if they want to be suc- 
cessful farmers. 

MOVING UPWARD. 

We will take two men for instance: one will 
not improve and advance while working only at 
every day work at $1.50 a day ; counting 300 
working days in a year it would amount to $450. 
a year; in 20years^it would b'3 $9,000 and in 40 
years it would be 318,000. I am counting from 
21 years of age up to 61. Now we will take the ■ 
other man ; he will learn a trade, cultivate him- 
self well and will advance. We will start him 
at 21 years of age at 75 cents a day for the first 
year which would amount to 3225; the second 
year at $1 a day would be $800: the third year 



82 

at $1.50 a day would be $450; the fourth year at 
$2 a day would be $600 ; the fifth year at"$2.50 a 
day would be $750; now at 26 years of age he 
has his trade finished and the wages in that time 
would amount to $2,325, then he will have 35 
years to work until he is 61 years old. He 
will now get $2.50 a day or $750 a year, which in 
35 years will amount to $26,250 and plus 12,325 
the amount while learning the trade, makes the 
amount $28,275. The ~ommon laborer earns 
$18,000, the one with a trade $28,32$, a difference 
of $10,575, which would buy a nice farm for old 
age. Then low wages are beneficial *-o persons 
starting in life while young as it learns them how 
to live on a small income, keeps them from 
forming so many bad habits, learns them better 
how to appreciate their high wages and how to 
take care of them better. Reader, cultivate 
yourself well for the benefit of yourself and oth- 
ers, do better work and you will be able to get 
better wages and use them for good purposes. 
This will apply as well to girls and women for 
professions and housekeeping, as the woman is 
worth just as much as the man to advance 
things. The better we learn to do our work the 
more it will strengthen our minds and the more 
we will enjoy ourselves at our work. 

CHANGE OF THOUGHT. 

When a person needs a change of thought, 

reading or any kind of study, or a change of 
mind to rest some part oi the brain, then they 
should have thoughts, reading or studies that 
are adapted to the parts or organs of the bruin 
thai were testing so thai a person can he increas- 
ing, improving and strengthening the organs 



83 

that needed rest, and when they become worked 
enough then change to others that have been 
resting ; but when our brain is in the right con- 
dition we do not need a change of mind and can 
continue longer on one study or thought than 
when we are sick or have an over-worked brain- 
Children should have frequent changes of stud- 
ies. 

Whf n a person makes these changes of thought 
or study they should be made to something ele- 
vating and useful and which will bring good and 
true happiness and contentment Do not have 
anything to do with that which is low, degrading 
and sinful. We see that the savage and heathen 
and often civilized people have a change of 
thought as well as any other class of people, and 
yet we see that they cannot do any great brain 
work because they do not have their brains em- 
ployed in those thoughts or studies which will 
instruct, improve or elevate. It is said that the 
brain of the savage and heathen is on the de- 
crease where they are neglected by the higher 
class of people. 

Now reader, if you have made a mistake like 
Mr. Comb and many others, do as he did — change 
as quick as circumstances will allow. 

INSANITY AND DIET. 

It is generally said when persons go insane 
while they are going to school or are studying 
that they studied too hard, but that is generally 
a mistake. If the most of such people would 
have understood and obeyed the health laws 
they could have done two or three times the 
amount of brain work they had done and have 
clear and strong minds There are people who 



M 

are careful in their habits, eat good nourishing 
foods, are careful when and how they eat them, 
take the proper amount of sleep and they are care- 
ful not to fret and worry and they are doing an 
immense amount of brain work and are generally 
clear minded in old age. 

We will take for illustration a young man who 
was attending college in New York: he attended 
about five months and came home with a weak 
body and brain and said he had studied too hard 
which caused his mind to become weak; and if he 
would have continued long in his studies he would 
have become deranged or insane. The young man 
thought he was not adapted to study: but he hap- 
pened to get acquainted with a good phrenologist 
and physiologist, who understood education and 
health well; he examined the young man's brain 
and saw that he had a brain and combination of 
temperaments adapting him to be an excellent 
scholar ; he inquired into the } 7 oung man's diet and 
was told that he generally ate fried cakes with 
plenty of grease and molasses over them and Buet 
cakes and pork, and was told bis studios and how 
far he had advanced in them; he then told the 
young man that the trouble was in his diet and 
that he had not studied too hard. He advised him 
to eat plenty of nutricious foods and mostly of 
food for the brain and he would have a strong 
mind and body. He advised him t;> us;' plenty <>i' 
oatmeal, graham flour, eggs, fish, milk, fruits, lean 
meats and no pork nor much sweet victua. s. 1 bis 
was in tim month of May; he obeyed it at once and 

worked on a farm until October, or live months 
time; he bee rong and healthy and gained 

ti/t.'i M ]> >unda in weight and what time in the <-• e 
aing he studied he said he learned more in five 



85 



months on the farm than during the same time in 
college. The young man started to college in Oc- 
tober and said he was not much afraid of studying 
too hard if he would simply obey the health laws. 

A person may have a strong and healthy horse, 
but if you only feed it straw it will not be able to 
do heavy and hard work and to stand much fast 
driving. People who are not healthy and bright 
should try this young man's plans. 

Use no fermented liquors as they do not 
strengthen the brain, and do not enable the brain 
to produce greater, deeper and higher thoughts, 
but only intoxicate and fire the brain to wear it 
out with more flashy thoughts and will help to 
send jou to the insane asylum. No one should 
think of going to college and expect to advance 
very rapidly unless they have cultivated their brain 
well in different branches of studies before starting 
to college in order that the brain will be trained 
and strengthened to move right on with the stud- 
ies without straining the brain like manydo in the 
start. 

TIME. 

Time is something that is very important to 
consider. Some people are spending 3 hours a 
day in idleness or in places that cause misery 
and sin, where if properly spent would bring 
education, good living and happiness. Three 
hours a day amount to 939 hours or 39 days in 
one year; in 10 years it amounts to 6,390 hours 
or 391 days over, one year ; in 20 years it amounts 
to IS, 780 hours or 78'2 days or over two years ; 
in 30 years it-amounts to 28,170 hours or 1,173 
day.-*, over three years; in 40 years it amounts 
to 37, 560 hours or 1,565 days, over 4 years ; in 50 



86 

years it amounts to 46,950 hours or 156 days, 
over 5 years ; in 60 years it amounts to 523,430 
hours or 2,309 days, over 6 years ; this is count- 
ing 24 hours for a day, then he would gain 6 
years day and night combined; counting 12 
hours a day it would be over 12 years. 

Take care of the hours and minutes and the 
days and years will take care of themselves. 
Some people who say they are not rich enough 
and have not time enough had better think of 
this. 

TOBACCO. 

Tobacco is another thing worth writing about. 
The tobacco habit is one that is not necessary or 
cleanly and takes a great deal of trouble and 
money to keep it going. It does not make peo- 
ple drunk, boisterous and crazy as liquors do, 
and we see many good and nice people use to- 
bacco, but if they would not use tobacco they 
would have more money to use for things which 
are good and useful, in fact anything that will 
elevate and ma .e a person better and happier. 
If the money and time that is used for tobacco 
would be used for bathing and baching places 
we would have more cleanliness, better health 
and the majority of the ladies would be happier. 
Tobacco contains nicotine, which is a poisonous 
alkaloid of a very acrid taste 'and numbs and 
weakens the nerves and brain ; that is the reason 
why smokers a chewers get the toothache so 
much. Chewers can wear the teeth down to the 
gums and not have the toothache, because the 
nicotine deadens the nerves of the teeth ; and 
that is the reason why people feel more calm af- 
ter smoking or chewing, (-specially after meals, 
as it numbs the nerves which should be strong 



87 

and active in order to promote digestion. When 
you do work with your hands you do not want 
them to be numb and your stomach should be 
like your hands. We will take persons who 
spend 5 cents a day for smoking and chewing ; 
this amounts to $18.25 a year ; 10 years, $182.50 ; 
20 years, $365 ; in 40 years, $730 ; without inter- 
est* Tobacco is not only a habit but a fashion 
that is followed even more close than in fashions 
of dress. Reader, if you use tobacco stop the 
habit by taking one less smoke and chew a day 
or quit at once by making a determination that 
you will quit and wear out your appetite, and 
continue thinking how much better it will be for 
j r ou and have your mind on thingsjthat are good 
and elevating. 

MORPHINE, OPIUM, &C. 

Morphine, opium and cocoa should never be 
used except in severe cases and in surgery; because 
they create a stronger habit than anything in ex- 
istence, but can be overcome if rightly understood. 
Dr. Danelson, of New York City, has had a great 
deal of experience with people who use morphine, 
and he says the best way is to quit at once. He 
says it takes a hard struggle to overcome it and 
thinks there is no danger of any person dying by 
quitting at once if they would use very bitter ton- 
ics to help brace up the system, These opiates 
deaden and numb the nerves and stupefy the 
brain, the latter being injured the most they are 
therefore very destructive to a clear and strong 
mind. If a person with the morphine habit would 
use pepsin and hydrastin at meal time and eat 
principally of brain foods with, plenty of lemons and 
oranges and bathe and rub the body vigorously to 



88 



open the pores will help greatly. Some doctors 
are to blame for inducing the morphine habit. 
With some people morphine, opium and cocoa is 
injurious to the system even in small doses — a 
small dose stunts the brain a little— just the same 
as fermented liquors — a little intoxicates a little. 
Reader beware of these habits and never form 
them: if once formed, stop at once. 

LIQUOR 

When some people become discouraged, despond- 
ent or angry at any one they proceed to get drunk 
and degrade themselves and are often abusive to 
good people. Good moral courage is far better 
than drunkenness. Some people say that if we 
would have pure liquor like we used to have or 
like they have in the Old Country it would not 
make them so crazy If that is the case, what do 
they drink our poor liquor for? What do the peo- 
ple'call pure liquor? Is it when they take grains 
and fruits, cook, sour and ferment them and Lave 1 
the government stamp them pure? But that does 
not make the fruit juices and grain essence 
healthy just because the government stamps it and 
the physicians and people say so. We have pure 
paris green, but is it healthy? No: it is a deadly 
poison. Some say liquor is like food: you mu^t 
not take too much, but that is a*mistake; if a per- 
son takes fermented liquors in small quantities it 
will fire them up a little and cause a little habit 
and the more they drink the more they arc fired 

up and the stronger the appetite gets, even to 

death and old age if not stopped. When people 
ea1 healthy food and only cat a little foodall along 
fchey have a very strong appetite for more food 
and cat with a very keen appetite and old age the 



89 



appetite for food gets weaker. People cannot do 
without food and water, but they can do without 
fermented drinks and be healthier and have bet- 
ter characters. A person who does not use fer- 
mented liquors will not have an appetite for them. 
If a person uses no food and water they will soon 
have a terrible appetite. There are things that 
are not fit for people in small or large quantities; 
paris green is not good even in small doses; if you 
take a small dose of paris green you will be pois- 
oned a little and a large dose will kill you and the 
same way with liquor a small amount will intoxi- 
cate a little and creates a little habit and a person 
who drinks a large amount gets greatly intoxicated. 

I do not want the fruits, grains, meats or any- 
thing that I eat or drink to be fermented or cooked 
up for me; I want to eat the grains and fruits with- 
out fermenting 

Our hearts generally beat from 70 to 80 times a 
minute which is about right for health. Some 
people dress light in cold weather and say they do 
not need many clothes to keep them warm; then 
they will drink fermented liquors to cause their 
hearts to beat 100 times a minute in order to cause 
a rapid circulation to keep them warm, while they 
are running the life out of their hearts and get a 
bad habit and a boisterous nature. Why not put 
on more clothes and keep the heat in the body and 
save their hearts, money and character. Then 
again they say we need a little pure fermented 
liquor to give us a good, keen appetite and still 
they say we are a set of gluttons Sure enough 
that would be nice to give us greater appetites so 
that we would be greater gluttons. Some people 
use liquor to get a bloated body and then chew to- 
bacco to spit the fat and bloat off and get an empty 



90 

pocketbook, a poor character and snakes in the 
bargain. So reader do not take the first glass and 
then you will not be troubled with the second. 

Some people say they can easily quit drinking 
because they have been moderate and regular 
drinkers; but they often get deceived. 

There was a gentleman in Ohio who was a regu- 
lar but only a moderate drinker. A gentleman 
told him that a person should not use any intoxi- 
cating liquors in any form, and said that it created 
a bad habit in any person who used it and that it 
would get the upper hand of them before they 
were aware of it. This regular and moderate 
drinker said that he could easily quit and that it 
was only people who were weak in mind who could 
not easily quit. The gentleman then told him to 
quit drinking for two weeks. He agreed, for, he 
said, it was easy for him to quit. At the end of 
two weeks the gentleman visited him and inquired 
how he had been getting along with his appetite 
The moderate drinker replied that it was the hard- 
est struggle he ever had and that he never thought 
that his appetite was so strong and vowed that he 
would never touch liquor again. If drinkers wish 
to know how their appetites are they should fol- 
low this man's example. 

PROFITS. 

Any person who is at anything that improves, 
elevates and makes people healthier, wiser and bet- 
ter should be well paid for their work, and things 
that are sinful, degrading and uncleanly we should 
have nothing to do with, but should cultivate a 
good character and save his money for good and 
useful things and give people good profits for 
them. A manufacturer can make good farming 



91 

utensils and machinery and he should have profits 
and still the farmer can buy them and be greatly 
benefitted. A book publisher could publish a 
good book for $2 and sell it for .$2.50 to the book 
dealers or agents and they would sell it for $3 to 
some person who would read and study it and reap 
great benefit from it that would aid them on in a 
better and more useful life and to better others 
and make more for themselves. So it is easily seen 
that all three could reap profits; and thus it is 
with all things that are good and useful and with 
the real necessities of life. But some people will 
pay immense profits for things to ruin them in 
character and health and not complain, and then 
when they have to pay other people good, living- 
profits for good things they think it is very wrong. 
Now if any of us think the good and useful ways 
and profits wrong we should reform and be glad 
to see people prosper and live well on the good 
thinks and be happy, useful, wise and good. 

riches. 
JVIoney is good if properly used and earned, but 
it was not the money that improved the United 
States and the people. It was the people who dug 
the gold and siiver and made paper and formed 
them into money to make a more convenient way 
to exchange things that they manufactured or 
produced. Some people compJain about the 
rich trampling the poor down. There is not one 
tenth as much of that as is talked about. It is 
the bad people who do the trampling down, it 
makes no difference if they are rich or poor, 
high or low. If a person buys a horse of a farm- 
er it will do him just as much work whether the 
farmer is rich or poor ; if a person buys food of 



\Y2 



a poor person it will do you as much good and 
digest as easily as if you had bought it of a rich 
person. Then on the other hand, if a person 
buys tobacco, smokes and chews ii, it will cause 
a person to have just as strong a habit and as 
much uncleanliness and smoky rooms and air 
whether it is bought of a rich or poor m;m ; or 
intoxicating liquors will maka you just as drunk 
and sinful and deep in poverty and misery 
when they are obtained of a poor man as from a 
rich man; or if you buy a good book of a rich 
man it will do you as much good as when pur- 
chased of a pour man. and the same with trashy 
novels and books ; they will do as much harm 
from one as from the other. 

So reader, if you get wrecked and have a poor 
living and culture, be careful whom you blame 
and where 3 on go and what you buy if you want 
to get a benefit that gives a person a full, round- 
ed character. 

Statistics show that the Irish in Ireland alone 
have spent money enough for liquor from L865 
to 1882 — just 17 years — to buy all t lie land and 
property that is owned by the English in Ire- 
land. Just set 1 bow nice the Irish people could 
have homes if the liquor was only wiped out of 
Ireland. Hut, nevertheless, there are some very 
highly cultivated Irish people and some of the 
great leading men who helped to gain the inde- 
pendence of this country were moral ami tem- 
perate I rish. 

GOOD AM) USEFUL THINGS CHEAP. 

The good, useful and beautiful things that pro- 

duces health, education, wisdom, cleanliness, last- 
in-- happiness, true culture and whatever pertains 



93 



to the highest and best life are cheap as cheap as 
compared to the things that produce bad habits, 
uncleanliness, sickness, sorrow, misery, foolish- 
ness, sin and death. Take for instance some li- 
quors that make 70 glasses to the gallon. At 10 
cents a glass it costs $7.00 a gallon, and eight gal- 
lon to the bushel would be $56.00 a bushel spent 
for liquors, which would buy a man and wife each 
$15 00 worth of clothes, two barrels, of flour at $5 
a barrel, $6 worth of groceries and $10 left for oth- 
er necessary articles. Or it would buy 56 bushels 
of wheat from a farmer at one dollar a bushel ; or 
go to a shoemaker and he will give you 14 pairs of 
boots at $4 a pair for the $56 00 It takes less 
than two glasses a day to drink one bushel of 
liquor a year. Some people will pay the saloon 
keeper an immense price to tear them down and 
never wince, but when they can get good and use- 
ful things cheap from honest'laborers, farmers and 
business people with which to build themselves up 
they continually complain about the good people 
making so much money by charging such high 
prices. Some people will pay the saloon keeper 
#100 to tear them down, make them sick, sinful, 
wretched and abusive to others and never chafe; 
then if they have to pay a doctor ten dollars to 
build them up they will complain of the ruinous 
doctor bills. Then some complain that it is cost- 
ing our people too much for dress. Our cotton 
and woolen goods cost us in 1886 $450,000,000, for 
boots and shoes $200,000,000, and our liquor bill 
$900,000,000. People can be just as good and 
healthy with a $50 suit of clothes as with a $5 
suit on, but if a person drinks a pint of whisky he 
will be more intoxicated than a person that only 
drinks one glass. So a person can easy seo that 



94 

there is quite a difference in liquor and dress. One 
bushel of grain makes three gallons of whisky or 
210 glasses, and at 10 cents a glass would make 
$21.00. They will give the farmer fifty cents to 
one dollar for the grain, and it gives but few men 
employment to make a large quantity of liquor; the 
saloon men get three-fourths of the liquor money. 
If the laboring people want the farmer, manufac- 
turers and business men to hire them the laborers 
want to buy goods from them; and the manufactur- 
ers, farmers and business men want to pay their 
money to the laborers so they can buy their goods, 
and by exchanging in this way they benefit and 
build up one another. 

Opium and morphine costs twenty-five to thirty 
dollars per pound and yet some people will smoke 
opium and take cocaine and morphine and form a 
miserable habit that costs them a nice little sum of 
money if indulged in long that could be used for 
to get good, useful and healthy things to enjoy 
and bring health and be free from a slavish appe- 
tite These drugs numbs and deadens the nerves and 
brain so they will not feel the effects of the disease 
while it is growing on them. They should get a 
good sweat, a good hot bath, if possible rub the 
parts vigorously that are affected and apply elec- 
tricity in a proper way and strengthen and electri- 
fy and not numb and weaken the uerves and brain 
and have a terrible habit. 

Tobacco, as I have said before, does not make 
people drunk, boisterous and sinful, but they 
would be cleaner, healthier and have more money 
to spend for other things that are beneficial and 
beautiful. A bushel of cigars or plug tobacco will 
buy a good nice suit of clothes and will buy a great 
deal tor the t;il>l<\ II would be best not to gel 



95 

into a habit and then hold to it so that when your 
family or yourself need the money for something 
else you want your tobacco right along and you 
can not substitute something else that you may 
have or need that will satisfy the tobacco habit. 
But if you cannot get oat meal you can use other 
things and feel satisfied; if a person has no pie or 
cake you can eat other things that you have and 
be satisfied; but not so with tobacco. Oh, reader, 
just think how cheap the good things are as com- 
pared with tobacco, and how much cleaner and 
healthier they are to use; and when people produce 
and sell good things for us we should be willing to 
pay a good price for them and not give a cent for 
anything that causes an uncleanly habit. Reader, 
if you use tobacco just think of this and quit in 
some way. No matter what people say, you can 
quit 

FIRST AND SECOND NATURE. 

The first nature is born in nearly every child and 
gives them an appetite for things that are healthy 
for the body and brain and could also be called a 
healthy appetite The second nature is very sel- 
dom born in any child, but is brought on by cul- 
tivation and contracts habits and things that only 
lead to a condition that is not natural, and could 
be called a habit feeling and causes a feverish, ner- 
vous, fretful or irritable feeling or appetite and 
sometimes a dull or fiery appetite. We should 
watch carefully and learn to know the difference 
between the first and second nature and find out 
what is a iiabit and a health feeling, and then no- 
tice how we are deceived if we are not careful of 
our health 

I was trained to drink coffee and drank two or 



96 

three cups of it at a meal until I was 17 years old. . 
Then I was informed by a doctor that if I would 
quit drinking coffee my dull headache would leave 
me, and he said it would be best if people would 
not drink anything at meals. So I quit at once 
and the dull sort of a headache left me and I felt 
better in other ways. But I had got into a habit 
of chinking at meals which was only the second 
nature cultivated. Then I did not feel satisfied at 
meal times because I felt as though I could hardly 
swallow my food without drinking something im- 
mediately afterward and then I craved for my cof- 
fee. But I kept right on without drinking at meal 
time and in five or six weeks the habit feeling had 
nearly left me and I felt healthier and was without 
the second nature or habit feeling 

Now we're all born with saliva glands to secrete 
a saliva juice for to help digest our food and mois- 
ten it. So we could swallow our food without be- 
ing washed down with fluids that are injurious to 
the stomach and digestive organs if indulged in 
too freely while eating our food. I have no ap- 
petite for coffee any more, so it is easily seen that 
the coffee habit was not born in me even if my pa- 
rents and grandparents were great coffee drinkers, 
but it was only the second nature brought on by 
me following the customs of people ' Since then I 
chew my food more and the saliva glands have be- 
come more active ami How juice freely and mois- 
tens my food well so it is easily swallowed. 

Intoxicating liquors are very deceiving; ii makes 
people believe that it gives them courage, but it 
blunts the judgment and morals, and puts the road 
to [lie prisonand insane asylum; it makes them be- 
lieve they can get rich on poverty; ii makes bhem 
believe they are going up In!!, hut in rea ity they 



97 

they are slipping right down into snake hollow. It 
gets people to think they are liberal and kind heart- 
ed when they are treating one another, while in re- 
ality they are losing their homes and half feeding 
their families. It makes them believe that they 
must pay an immense price for intoxicating liquors 
to tear them down so they can complain about peo- 
ple who give them things cheap to build them up. 
Suppose we take three persons that are stout and 
hearty. The first takes liquor, the second takes 
medicine, the third does not use liquor or medi- 
cine Then what would we think if at the end of 
five years the person that was taking medicine 
would quit taking it and he would feel worse and 
co aid not work so well as the man that took no 
medicine: we would say take no more medicine 
while in health. And why not the same way with 
liquor? because it leaves our hearty people as well 
as the weaker people feel worse when they do not 
get liquor or when they are sobering up than when 
they began using it. Drinking intoxicated liquors 
is the second nature established and brought on 
by people, not born in them, as Adam and Eve 
were not created to drink fermented liquors and get 
drunk. Now we see that drunkenness is the 
second nature not planted in us by God but by 
ourselves; the first person who got drunk would 
have no relatives to blame ; they established it 
themselves. So that is the way with people of 
to-day; they are not drunkards because their re- 
lations were drunkards, but it is the same as it 
was when the first person became intoxicated, 
they will get drunk because they make up their 
minds to do so. 

If you want warm feet give your money to the 
shoema er and not to the saloon keeper ; if you 



98 

want your bodies kept warm give your money to 
the merchants who deal in clothing and not to 
the saloon keeper; if you want an education and 
true culture give your money to good teachers 
and publishers of good and useful books and 
not to saloon keepers and for wild and trashy 
reading ; if you want a home give your money 
to some person who will sell you a home and 
not to the saloon keeper; then cultivate yourself 
to know how to take care of it. We should shun 
all places that hinder us from improving our- 
selves. 

FEELINGS AND EFFECTS OF HABITS AND DRINKING. 

The^ habit feeling should be very carefully 
and wisely studied by observing our own and 
the practice and experience of habit feeling in 
others and compare them to the good and 
healthy feelings to see how deceiving and differ- 
ent they are. To illustrate the difference be- 
tween a healthy and habit feeling we will take 
A and B. A and B work until they are verv 
warm. A while in that condition "drinks he 
water, eats ice cream and lies in a, cool place to 
cool off quickly. He will feel cool and nice at 
first and have a good present feeling, but what 
is the future feeling or health? While B is very 
warm he cools off gradually by staying out of 
cool places and is careful 'how and what he 
dnnks but he does not feel so cool and fresh at 
first as A did, but in the future he will have a 
better and healthier feeling. Beware of the 
present and look to the future. If any person 
cools off too quickly they are Liable to get a 
fever, cough, chills, consumption, rheumatism 
or other diseases, and if rou discover thai vou 



99 

have cooled off too quickly take a complete bath 
with cool or warm water, with one or two table- 
spoonsful of aqua amonia to a gallon of water. 
Go into a warm room, rub yourself vigorously 
with your hands or a coarse towel, drink plenty 
of hot water or lemonade, keep your hands and 
feet in hot water, keep hot water and clothes 
around your neck and on your head, apply this 
treatment the best you can and it may save you 
from a great deal of sickness. 

THE STOMACH AND FOOD. 

Some people think that when they eat pork, 
boiled cabbage, sauer kraut, and other food, 
which take four and five hours to digest, it gives 
them strong muscles, or in other words they 
say "it sticks to the ribs," but the trouble is it 
sticks to the stomach too long and causes dys- 
pepsia, liver complaint and heart disease. The 
trouble is that some people cannot work very 
well when their stomach has been empty for two 
or three hours, then when they eat food that is 
hard to digest and lies in the stomach four or 
five hours it keeps the hungry feeling down so 
they can work better, but after while they find 
their digestive organs and body weak because 
they eat indigestive food which would only fur- 
nish an average amount of nourishment. 

The stomach contains little sacs which con- 
tains gastric juice, the liquid which digests the 
food in the stomach. As soon as any food pass- 
es into the stomach it is revolved and mixed 
with the gastric juice by that organ, and when 
the stomach moves it opens the gastric sacs so 
that the gastric juice will flow, just like the sa- 
livn of the mouth flows when wc chew .invthine:. 



100 

When we eat food that digests in two or three 
hours it leaves the stomach rest two or three 
hours, thus giving the gastric sacs time to filL 
In most people the gastric sacs are very sensi- 
tive and easily irritated and when they become 
very full it causes them to have a vigorous ap- 
petite and will cause some persons to have colic, 
a weakening hunger and an uneasy and gone 
feeling. People who are troubled in this way 
should eat a little between meals to work off 
some of the gastric juice from the sacs and give 
them relief, if need be, until meal time ; then 
you will have plenty of gastric juice for a full 
meal. 

We should eat good nourishing and easily di- 
gestive food in order that the stomach can di- 
gest it soon and have plenty of time to rest and 
accumulate gastric juice to digest the next meal, 
and give us a keen and vigorous appetite. If 
we do this we will need no liquor to give us fiery 
habit appetites. We should eat the best of nour- 
ishing foods and then we will not need ferment- 
ed liquors to run the heart to death to circulate 
the blood rapidly to warm and fire us up. What 
is the use of eating pork and other food- that 
are hard to digest and weaken your digestive 
organs and then cannot digest ^enough food to 
nourish and strengthen the brain and body and 
then take Liquor to give us a false appetite and 
a bad habit? If we eat the proper kind of fond 
:it regular h< urs then we will not be liable to 
overeat ourselves or want any intoxicating 
liquors. 

VOl NG PEOPLE. 

It is gentrally claimed that young people 
while growing need so much more to eal than 



101 

older people who are not growing, but this is a 
mistake, they need very little, if any, more food. 
If a young person does not study, work or play 
much they will not neeed as much food as a full 
grown person who does work or study. Now 
suppose a person passes through a severe spell 
of sickness from a fever or other causes and 
looses 50 pounds in weight, then in four months 
time he will generally be as heavy as he was be- 
fore he was sick, that is if he was properly cared 
for. Now we see that the sickly person would 
gain 12-J pounds a month on a small amount of 
nourishment. Take the hearty, growing young 
people and they seldom ever grow two pounds, 
or over, a month or 24 pounds a year ; now then 
if the fever patient gains 12J pounds a month on 
a small amount of food, why should a young 
growing person eat a large amount to grow one 
to two pounds a month? 

Young growing people have keen appetites 
and are liable to eat too fast and too much and 
thereby contract stomach and other troubles. 

The reason why people get a very strong ap- 
petite after sickness is that they loose from 25 
to 50 pounds and the body is calling for enough 
food to supply the 25 or 50 pounds and the ap- 
petite will not come to its right standard until 
the deficiency is gained. In such cases our 
stomachs are weak and we should only eat a 
very little at first and be careful how we increase 
the amount and what we eat. 

FACTS ABOUT THE BEAIN. 

The grayer part seems to be all of the same 
quality in every particular. All we can see and 
learn is that the different positions of the parts of 
the brain produce different thoughts and the near- 



1.02 

er the one part is to another the nearer the 
thoughts will be alike Executiveness and defen- 
sitiveness are located beside one another and they 
produce thoughts nearly similar in some respects. 
But the farther the organs are apart the more dif- 
ferent the nature of the thoughts will be. For in- 
stance parental love is located in the back part of 
the head and comparison in the front part, and 
you see the great difference in the nature of the 
thoughts. Then take form, size, weight, color, lo- 
cality, order and calculation, all are situated to- 
gether in and next to the eyebrows. Form looks 
at the form and shape of objects? and size, adjoin- 
ing form, judges the size, length and breadth: 
weight comes next and judges the weight by lift- 
ing and sees if things stand square; color detects 
the color; locality locates objects; order keeps them 
in order; calculation counts them, and so on with 
the other parts. Then originality goes out into 
new tields and what it discovers it hands to com- 
parison. To illusirate it comparison contrasts, il- 
lustrates and compares and the result is handed 

m to eventuality to remember the events or 
happenings, and eventuality turns it over to lan- 
guage to talk about what has been done, and so on 
with all parts of the brain. The organs are not 
mixed up or placed in a careless manner. You will 
not find an intellectual organ among the social or- 
gans, neither will you find a social organ among 
the mechanical organs. The social organs arc all 
located together in the back part of the brain. We 
can take a tree out of one orchard and replant it 
in anotLdr and it will increase the size and fruil of 
one while it decreases the other. But not so with 

brain; if you should take out of one part it will 
weaken or destroy that pari of the brain, and you 



103 



cannot replant it in another part of the brain to 
increase or strengthen that part.

Buckwheat, fat pork and molasses are 100 per 
cent in heating quality, and have but little nour- 
ishment in them. They should not be used very 
much in warm weather. Anything fried hard 
takes from one to two hours longer to digest than 
if roasted or properly boiled. Old salted meats 
take from one to two hours longer to digest than 
fresh meats 

Eggs and salmon are the best brain foods; gra- 
ham Hour, beans, peas, oat meal, corn, raw oysters, 
beef, mutton, venison either raw or rare are excel- 
lent brain foods. 

Some people wonder how it is the fact is ascer- 
tained as to the length of time it takes to digest 
the different foods. First by paying people that 
are wounded in the stomach to try experiments 
with different kinds of food at different times, when 
they would remove the dressing of the wounds and 
watch the actions of the stomach and see what 
foods digest the best and quickest. Of course this 
could be done safely, but by disturbing the dress- 
ing of the wound so often the patient would not 
get wcli so quick, but they would get well paid 
for their time. The second and best way is bv 
the gastroscope. it is of a late invention. The 
gastrOSCOpe is a small instrument that is put down 



105 

the throat into the stomach and it is so arranged 
with glasses and a luminous light that it reflects a 
likeness of the stomach and the food and drink 
that is in it upon a looking glass near the mouth 
and you can see just what the stomach is doing 
as plain as you could see your own likeness if you 
would look in a mirror. Our stomach is very sen- 
sitive and if we watch and study it carefully we 
can tell closely what is best for us in most cases by 
the way we feel. Sometimes when we eat and 
drink some things we feel satisfied at the time, but 
feel bad soon afterward 

Pork. — We would be healthier and wiser if we 
would not use any pork, except a very little for 
cakes and pies if need be. But if people think 
they must raise hogs to eat the off-fallings and 
drink the slops they make, they should take the 
oil out of the lard and put it to some good use, and 
use the balance to make candles or feed it all to the 
chickens to make them lay so we will have more 
chickens and eggs to eat in the place of jiork. 
People are injured a great deal more by pork than 
by some sweet things. 

Pie — Some people and doctors claim that it is 
pie and sweet cakes that cause so much dyspepsia 
and headaches, but that is a mistake in a great 
many cases. People use from one-half teaspoon- 
full to a table spoonful of lard in a piece of pie. 
Suppose a person eats two pieces of pie at at a 
meai; he will consume from a teaspooni'ui to two 
table spoonsful of lard a meal and some would say 
that at that rate they would soon be sickly Then 
there are others that will eat fat pork freely and 
put grease on their bread and other food freely, 
and yet they will say that it does not hurt them. 
Yet they will get from eight to twelve table spoons- 



106 

fui of laid at each meal in the fat pork and gravy 
they use and cannot see as it injures them, but 
other people that uses but little in their pie they 
think will surely be sick. I say if people bake pies 
they should use plenty of the best baking powder 
and very little if any lard. Be careful and use 
plenty of healthy things to make a pie and then 
it will not cause dyspepsia. There are many other 
things worse than pies 

We should have 7 to 9 hours sleep in 24 hours. 
Hard brain workers need more sleep than people 
who work mostly at physical labor. We should 
be pretty regular in going to bed and getting up, 
but it is not necessary to have a certain hour for 
so doing Some people sleep best in the morning 
and others better in the fore part of the night. 
People who eat late suppers had better go to bed 
late and get up late if circumstances are favorable. 
Only loose sleep in necessary cases. The old say- 
ing is "early to bed and early to rise, makes a per- 
son healthy, wealthy and wise " Then if we were 
to judge some people by their health, wealth and 
wisdom we should think they went to bed at mid- 
night and slept uutii noon. 

Bathing should be done properly and often bo 
keep ourselves cleanly and healthy, and people who 
do i.ot bailie can not realize bow it benefits and re- 
freshes a person. Do not take a bath on a full 
stomach; if you must bathe light alter a meal ea1 
lightly. A cool bath in the morning and a warm 
bath in the evening are the healthiest Weakly 
people should generally lake a warm bath. Peo- 
ple should bathe once a week in winter and more 
often in summer; a bath everj day in summer will 
hurt, n<> person ii' properly taken and bathing is of 
immense value to fever patients. A person will

obtain health, cleanliness and enjoyment from 
bathing and if they are not permitted to bathe the 
whole body they should at least frequently bathe 
the bottom of the feet and the scalp as these parts 
contain a great number of pores and cast off a 
large amount of impurities from the 

The most of fruits have not so very much nour- 
ishment in them, but they are refreshing, cooling 
and healthful to the system and should be used 
freely by most people, especially in warm weather. 
Lemons should be used freely when we need acid, 
or Hosford acid phosphate is excellent; for sale by 
druggists The fruits is where we get our pure 
acids and sweets. 

We should breathe plenty of pure fresh air and 
have good rich blood and healthy lungs; we should 
have pure air to breathe in ail piaces; for the sick 
as well as for the healthy I have known people 
to increase the size of their chest one-half to one 
inch in circumference by deep breathing. Do not 
be afraid of breathing too much pure air, but only 
keep it at the right temperature Bathing and 
fresh air are the best medicines to purify the blood 
and strengthen the lungs. Fresh air is cheap; 
so use it freely then consumption will not dare to 
approach. 

The moral organs give a sense and of what is 
right and wrong a sense of guilt and of a con- 
science; but these organs often cause a great 
amount of trouble and misery and often wicked- 
ness by people wanting to follow their feeling and 
conscience with their customs, habits and training 
when their intellectual organs say it is of no bene- 
fit and will be injurious or this is not healthy or 
this is not the best. So when the moral organs 
will not. follow the intellectual organs in the right 



108 



way then they are wrong. But if the moral or- 
gans feel as if anything is wrong or sinful they 
should not give in until they investigate with the 
intellectual and other organs and see what is best 
and then follow with a clear conscience. These or- 
gans are located in the top of the brain and con- 
sist of Conscientiousness, Firmness, Hope, Won- 
der, Imitation, Veneration and Benveolence. 

Now reader, if any person cheats you, you 
should not cheat others to make that up in order 
to pay the debt you owe or promised to pay, as 
the person who cheated you might have been 
cheated by some one else and he might have 
cheated you to pay his bill; that is the wrong way 
to do, but the right way to do is to take the law 
and get your money back if you can or put him 
to prison, but do not become discouraged or 
wicked but have good moral courage and industry 
and go ahead and pay the debt as soon as you can 
and be liberal and do what is right even if some 
others are wrong. 

Wisdom and health are great wealth. Industry, 
energy and mechanism are the great builders. 
Good management is the granary, storehouse and 
treasurer. Cleanliness, good habits and manners 
are like a precious jewel in pure water. Kindness 
and cheerfulness arc as sunshine. Goodness and 
health are the best face paint. Good* habits, mor- 
ality and religion are the great head lights. 

Some people say "laugh and grow fat" but I say 
try and be- healthy, laugh and grow a good char- 
acter and leave the i'at take its course.

In the foregoing chart X means the best, 1 means 
good, and O means poor — you should not marry such 
a person. If I mark two places alike for your mate 
then that will show that one will do as well as the 
other, even if one is the reverse of the other. 

The person that this chart is marked for should 
select a companion that is as near like the one that 
is marked in his or her chart as they possibly can. 
but some people can be mated different from what 
I will mark and yet do well, because they have 
such a. combination of temperaments that they are 
adapted to many different kinds of temperaments 
and I have not room in this book to explain all 
particulars. The color of the eyes and hair is <>t 
nttle benefit in many cases in the selection of a 
husband or wife, as bo often the color of the eyes 
and haii- do not correspond with the tempera 

irK'ids. Sometimes we sec the niolher with the 



Ill 

vital, sanguine and brain and nerve temperaments 
strongly developed and with blue eyes and light 
or sandy hair to correspond with her tempera- 
ments, and the father might have the motive and 
brain and nerve temperaments the most strongly 
developed and have black hair to correspond with 
his temperaments and their child or children may 
have the temperaments and brain of the mother 
and only the black hair and eyes of the father. 
So we see that it is not best to depend very much 
on the color of hair and eyes, bat the first and best 
of all is to look to the character and the one you 
love, the temperaments and health and then if the 
eyes and hair correspond in color it will be of 
some benefit in most cases. 

Now, reader, if you see one of the opposite sex 
that is like I mark in your chart do not think that 
is the one you are to marry if they do not suit 
you, or you cannot love them or feel adapted to 
them. Bat look around weil and carefully until 
yoa see one that suits you, and is as near like the 
one I mark in the chart as you can conveniently. 
If we are mated well by temperaments, and other 
things are favorable, we will have better, healthier 
and more intelligent children. Sometimes we see 
parents and relatives that are healthy and their 
children will be born sickly or weakiy and not be 
intelligent; this is because the parents were not 
propeny mated by temperaments. Then, again, 
we see sickly parents that have strong, robust and 
intelligent children, because they were properly 
mated by their temperaments. Most all oi our 
weakness -and sickness is brought about by not 
being properly mated, or neglecting to take good 
care of ourselves ail through life. There is not 
one-tenth rm many sickly and weakly people born 



112 



from sickly and weakly relations as is taught by 
some people. Some are born different from any 
of their relatives just because their parents were 
mated in such a manner that their children would 
be different in brain and body from what their rel- 
atives were. When God created Adam and Eve 
there was only two kinds of human beings, and 
see how many different kinds of human beings 
there are at present, the result of marriages 

A person with a large brain and nerve tempera- 
ment and with but little of the other temperaments 
should not inarry a person that has the lymphatic 
temperament largely developed, and especially if 
they have but little of the other temperaments, as 
the children would be liable to have the dropsy of 
the brain and body. A person with the vital and 
lymphatic temperaments the strongest should not 
marry one with the same temperaments strongly de- 
veloped A person with the sanguine, motive, vi- 
tal and brain and nerve temperaments could marry 
one with the same temperaments very strong. A 
person that is tail and slender with a large brain 
would do well to marry one that is heavy set with 
a large or full sized brain. A person with a red 
face, a rather slender body and a full or large sized 
brain would do well to marry a person with a red 
lace, a large or full sized brain, with a body that 
l- neither heavy set nor slender. Some people 
have such combination of temperaments that they 
would do well to marry most any person they 
loved and their ways suited them. Any person 
that has the lymphatic and coarse grained temper- 
aments so much in excess of the other tempera- 
ments should not marry. 

Do not inai t\ for riches] Donot marry tor hon- 
or! Do noi marry anv one vou cannot love! Do 



113 

not marry any person until you feel sure you know 
their true character. A person with a good char- 
acter should be very careful in marrying a person 
with a bad character, and any one that is religious 
or religiously inclined should not marry a person 
that ignores true religious habits. When the good 
is mated to the bad they should treat each other 
good and the one try and win the other over in 
the right path. The women are just as smart as 
the men and as a rule the best characters. A good 
wife is better than honor, silver or gold, but not 
every man deserves such a wife. And a good hus- 
band is better than honor or riches, but not every 
woman deserves such a husband. Some people 
think that after marriage a person should be differ- 
ent, better and more sensible, but that is a mis- 
take Every person should have true culture in 
whatever pertains to make theni wise and good, 
whether they are married or single. So we should 
not wait until we are married to get good and wise 
for we might get such mates to live with that we 
might not feel like reforming after marriage. But 
I say if any one has not reformed before marriage 
they should do so afterward and be good and use- 
ful the rest of their lives The women should be 
equal sharers and have equal rights as well as the 
men. 

Some think that the women have not much to 
do, but they are mistaken. There are 365 break- 
fasts, 365 dinners, and from 325 to 365 suppers to 
get every year, or 1050 fco 1075 meals and general- 
ly at regular times, Just think of over 1000 meals 
a year! Then they have clothes to mend and make 
and children to take care of and many other things 
to see alter. And the men often think that wo- 
man's work is riot hard; Rome of them bettor try 



114 

keeping house a few days and see how it goes. I 
say when the women are overcrowded with work 
the men should learn how to help them and cheer 
them up Then the women should have time to 
read good and useful books and papers that per- 
tains to true culture in housework, morality and 
religion or whatever makes them wiser or better 
and happier. Whether married or single they 
should keep advancing, as the women can and do. 
aid the men greatly, especially where the men ap- 
preciate it and make good use of it. Then, again, 
the men often get overcrowded with work, and if 
the women have not much to do they should try 
to learn and aid the men, even if only in the small 
things. Women should try and make things com 
fortable for the men. I have known people who 
were careless and wild and bad before they were 
married and afterward reformed, repented, were 
converted and became industrious and religious 
and were well fixed with property for good use in 
old age. But remember trusting for a person to 
repent and reform after marriage is in many cases 
a dangerous trust. When persons get married 
they should not think of bossing or driving one 
another around, but love and aid each other. 

The people in the country can find good wives 
and husbands in towns and cities, and people in 
towns and cities can find goodhusbands and wives 
in the country. If people with certain combina- 
tions of temperaments united in marriage they 
would be liable have sickly or weakly and not 
\cr\ intelligent children and could not live in a 

rtate of happiness and peace even if they were good. 

Then, on the other hand, if people arc well mated 
and do not try t«» work" in harmony or give them 

selves true culture they will not get along well in 



115 

some ways. The difference in tastes that are not 
of an offensive nature should not keep people from 
mating. People should try ancLbe well mated and 
then work right in harmony with one another. 

Women should not lace very tight as it is injur- 
ious to their health and they do not look as well 
when they are laced as they do in their natural 
form. It is not -the nice clothes that injures us, 
but it is the tight boots and shoes and tight lacing 
that does the mischief. So I say do not destroy 
your health to follow the fashions. 

Children should be carefully taught in the things 
that are good and beneficial and how to use them. 
Teach them that a good and true character well 
cultivated is better than silver or gold, and every 
person whether single or married should be inter- 
ested in teaching children what is best for them. 
Children should go to school and obey their teach- 
er, and parents should not take the scholar's part 
too much at school. If we cannot keep 6 or 8 chil- 
dren out of trouble how can we expect the teach- 
ers to keep peace with 25 t ; o 50 scholars. A good 
teacher can help the scholars and good scholars 
are a great help to the teachers, and all should 
work in harmony for that which is good and useful 
in all place*, 

FASHIONS, 

There is not near as much pride and foolishness 
or money wasted in fashions and chess as is said 
by some people. A person can be just as good with 
good and nice clothes as they can Avith common 
clothes, but we should not dress grand and then 
not pay for our clothes We should not dress for 
pride or think it makes us better just because we 
extra nice clothes. We see people that 



:ive 



lie* 

are dressed in common clothes that have good char- 
acters, and some that have bad characters, and the 
same way with people that are well dressed So 
he careful and not judge people by their clothes or 
you will be badly deceived in some cases People 
can work mathematics just as well with a H'5 suit 
as with a $50 suit on. It is best not to dress to 
follow the crowd. A person can wear a nice suit 
and then they can put on another common suit of 
clothes and move right on and be just as cleanly 
and good with the one suit as with the other, and 
when we cannot afford such nice clothes we can 
wear cheaper ones. But a person using tobacco 
and liquor cannot be as cleanly and good as they 
can without them; and a person does not do with- 
out their tobacco for a few days when they n ed 
the money for other tilings, and liquors the same 
way But good sensible people witi think more 
of people with good characters, etc, and good 
common clothes than they will o^ a person v 
nice clothes on that were never paid for. Do not 
dress in any way that is injurious to your health 
and keep a good and noble charaoter. Do not stay 
away from good and necessary p ax38S you 

cannot drees as others do S - ' ' ' ' 

clothes and others enjoy common clothes 

WHY I STUDIED PHttEtfOLO U. 

The first reason why I studied ph y was 

the go< >d of myself; the second reason was for 

to learn and how much eicb prison woald b v j i 

to do under certain circumstances; and the third 

• on was because l liked the study, and so ij I 

would be crippled or have any i con d

skulls to study phrenology with as it is not right 
to carry skulls around or have them of people that 
are supposed to be resting in their graves. And 
it is not necessary because there are other ways 
that are equally good or better. The best way is 
to take a plaster cast of the brain with all the or- 
gans accurately located and marked on the cast or 
bust. Then take living persons and examine their 
brain and they will be able to tell you whether you 
are right or wrong in a good many ways, and then 
watch people in their work, business and other 
places and see how the organs of the brain and 
temperaments work and harmonize together in 
many ways, and also singly. But we cannot get 
dead peoples skulls to tell you when you are right 
or wrong and they cannot move or act to manifest 
their characters. Never use or advise any person 
to use skulls; as it is not necessary ; it is wrong. 

Now, reader, you must mind there are good 
phrenologists, and also there are quack phrenolo- 
gists When they come around make them give 
some free examinations by bringing them stran- 
gers or by blindfolding them and see how they 
can examine brains. If you find they are quacks 
use the law on them or have nothing to do with 
them. The study of phrenology is in perfect har- 
mony with the Bible. I will say that if it was not 
in harmony with the Bible I would not study it, 
and I think no one should if such would be the 
case. 

Where I mark a person as a preacher it must be 
remembered that I mean for the person to be or 
get truly converted to God as the Bible teaches. 

If any person studies phrenology they should 
not be studying and watching peoples brains and 
be thinking about them when you ought to be pay- 



118 

iiig good attention to other things that would or 
might be very beneficial in the way of advice or 
true culture, as people can give excellent advice to 
phrenologists as well as to other people. So do 
not think of studying phrenology at funerals, 
church, Sunday School and many other places. Do 
not study phrenology for wild curiosity, fault find- 
ing foolishness or for greed of money: but study 
it for the good of yourself first and then teach oth- 
ers how to make the best use of every organ of the 
brain whether they be large or small. Then when 
you get to understand phrenology well and wish 
to make money by phrenology, do so. 

A person should not think they are better than 
other people just because they are a phrenologist. 
We have people that are wise and have grand and 
noble characters that do not know anything about 
phrenology, and some of them do not believe in 
the science and yet they are good and wise. But 
if such would understand phrenology it would 
benefit them greatly in knowing how to direct and 
where to place people so that they would do the 
most good in all useful and good places 

The brain is the most wonderful, the greatest, 
finest, truest, neatest and best arranged of any 
thing on earth, and is capable of producing very 
good, useful and wonderful thoughts Itwillview 
the whole world over in a very short time; it will 
look back hundreds of years over the past; it ex 
amines and improves the present and reaches away 
into the future for great discoveries and grander.

churches, schools, colleges, railways an. 1 telegraph 
lines and that which is grand and good 

Saving —People who have got into the habit or 
an- naturally inclined to spend money too freely 



119 

should have a system or rule to go by so they 
could get the true benefit of it. Eemember there 
are some persons who are continually talking of 
poor luck, that if they would only look back over 
the past correctly they might see some poor man- 
agement. If so, improve. People should not act 
and spend money in time of prosperity and sun- 
shine as though there would be no failures, panics 
or thunder storms. And in bad times do not wor- 
ry and fret as though there would be no more 
prosperity and sunshine. So we should be pre- 
pared to live well and comfortable and improve 
rightly and be useful and good and have as much 
happiness as possible. Do not so live as to 
starve and be without true culture while standing 
on your millions, and on the other hand do not be 
such a spendthrift as to spend your millions with 
your eyes shut and get no true culture or benefit 
and at last be a begger or go the poor house. Do 
not pass by a ship load of good useful opportuni- 
ties and be grasping after lucky chances and air 
castles. 

SWEET AND SOUR. 

We need some sweet as well as sour but there 
are a few people who use ten times as much sweet 
as they should. They use it freely in nearly every 
thing they eat and drink. We should beware of 
impure candy; a small amount of such will do more 
harm than a large amount of pure sweet, as it is 
not as injurious to be foundered or overfed 
as it is to be poisoned Our lard and sweets 
should not be mixed together as they are very in- 
jurious to the stomach and brain, and that is why 
some sweet cakes are so injurious even if only a 
little is eaten. Thev should be baked without lard 



V2() 



and as light as possible and should not be used 
much, especially when using much sweet in other 
ways. We should get our sweet as much as pos- 
sible in its natural state, such as honey, sweet 
fruits, etc. The less we cook our sweets the bet- 
ter they are for us. We need sour or acid things. 
They are very beneficial and should be used m 
different ways and quantities by different persons. 
If possible they should be used in their natural 
state and not be fermented, as we can get them 
pure in some fruits and other things. We get them 
in lemons, cranberries, apples and other fruits. 
Vinegar is liable to eat and irritate the sensitive 
'lining of the stomach. Some people will eat a 
great amount of pork and too much of other things 
and then have a poor appetite by overtaxing their 
stomach. Then they will eat things that is soured 
with vinegar to irritate the stomach and get an un- 
natural craving appetite, and they keep on eating 
too much in this manner until many get dyspepsia, 
liver complaint or headaches. Instead or gorging 
themselves- they should not eat anything lor one, 
two or three meals as the cast- might be, in order 
to give the stomach a rest. If a person cannot get 
sour things in the fruits, then pure cider vinegar 
made quite weak with water and then a little taken 
is better than to do without. But one good lemon 
will do more good than a gallon of 'Vinegar e?en u 
properly taken, and the natural sour will supply 
the body in some ways that tfnegav will not. ±1 
some people would live on good, nutritious and 
easily digested food and take some pepsin, bitter 
herbs and barks fco tone up the digestion and givfc 
the stomach rest when it needs it they would uoi 
have dyspepsia and headache. Hosford's acid 
phosphate is an excellenl thing fcd supply the sys- 



121 



tern with the acid or sour it needs. It is cooling 
and refreshing and makes an excellent drink, es- 
pecially in hot weather. For sale by druggists. 

We will take a tobacco chewer or smoker or the 
two combined. Now supposing a person with one 
or both of these habits were deprived of their use 
for a week. The persons thus deprived would not 
feel right; tbey would be uneasy and loose their 
appetite in a degree, and could not eat right or 
work and be contented Now after a week or a 
few days they get tobacco to use it straightens up 
and satisfies that habit feeling and they work just 
as they did before when they had tobacco. Now 
you see there is no nourishment in that tobacco, 
it did not strengthen them any in body or brain, 
but it only satisfied that habit feeling. I know of 
a person that was told to quit using tobacco and 
he would feel better and be healthier. He tried it 
and said that he felt uneasy, restless, could not 
eat, work or study well, because the habit feeling- 
was troubling him. But he said that he knew he 
was getting healthier and gained 15 or 20 pounds 
and his flesh became more solid. But while the 
habit feeling lasted he could not get along or feel 
so well satisfied, but he would not let the habit 
feeling master him and when that feeling left him 
he said that he felt better and healthier, had a bet- 
ter appetite and could work and study better. 
Now study this habit feeling closely and compare 
it to the good, strong, healthful feeling and mark 
the difference. 

EYEBY ORGAN GOOD. 

Every organ or every part of the brain was cre- 
ated by God for good and there is no such a thing 
as a bad organ, it is not the large organs that 



122 



are always so hard to control and it is not the 
small organs that leave the large ones run astray 
so much as it is the habits we form in the way of 
using the organs, either single or combined. Ev- 
ery organ of the brain was created by God for two 
purposes — for a good and useful purpossfor us in 
digerent ways and for contentment and happiness. 
The larger the organs the greater the enjoyment, 
ufefulness and goodness, that is if the organs are 
kept working in harmony with one another for 
whatever improves and extends happiness and 
the necessary things for the benefit of ourselves 
and others. But if we use them wrongly we lose 
our good and true happiness and ofcen get con- 
siderable misery. But the trouble is when we 
'have suck keen or strong enjoyments from large 
organs we are so liable to go to excess and over- 
do to get the most enjoyment at the present and 
then suffer in the future or lose the best of our 
happiness. For an illustration we will take our 
appetite for food. Now our body and brain need 
so much food then if we have keen, strong ap- 
petites we get more enjoyment from them which 
is better than if we had a weak, sluggish appe- 
tite and would not enjoy our food. But we should 
stop eating when we have enough, and be glad 
that we had so much enjoyment from our food, 
and then change to other thingsjthat will benefit 
you. Suppose a person had one day's time 
to go away to enjoy nice mountain and lake 
scenery surrounded with beautiful flowers, etc., 
then it' a person had large sublimity, ideality, 
color and a fine grained temperament with the 
brain and nerve temperament well developed 
they would have a keener pleasure and more en- 
joyment than if their organs and temperaments 



123 

were weak in the places I just mentioned. But 
if we do not train ourselves properly we will 
spend a week when we ought to only have a day 
to visit such places. So you see it is better to 
have all of our organs well cultivated, so what 
time we have at different places that our useful- 
ness, goodness and enjoyment may be as keen as 
possible. If we are not careful our small or av- 
erage sized organs will often do more harm than 
our large organs. Suppose we take some people 
who have not a fine grained temperament and 
have small sublimity, ideality and color. They 
will not enjoy flowers, colors, mountains, lakes, 
water falls and the things that are nice and beau- 
tiful. Then because they do not like them they 
may destroy such things that others have for 
their enjoyment, and also be abusive to people 
because they take their enjoyment in such things 
when they can afford it and have the time. If a 
person has not the organs to enjoy things that 
were given to us leave some one else enjoy them 
that has a brain so adapted, but leave no organs 
lead you into doing anything that is injurious 
and sinful. All organs were created for some pur- 
pose. God created the organ of color in us so 
we could paint things to preserve them and also 
for us to enjoy colors He created trees, plants, 
vines, herbs, etc., for to produce food and medi- 
cine for our good, and at the same time he cre- 
ated them to have nice and beautiful blossoms 
and flowers for our organs of color to enjoy and 
know the different kinds. And it is the same 
with all other parts of the brain. Tune was giv- 
en to us to enable us to judge the differance be- 
tween sounds of any kind, which is useful in 
many ways. It tells us when our voices are 



V24 



properly regulated in singing, speaking or read- 
ing: it tells one kind of metal from another by 
their sounds ; it tells us when machinery is run- 
ning properly by the different sounds. Xow as 
we see that God created the organ of tune for a 
benefit just see the enjoyment from the elevating 
and religious music. Good religious music 
cheers people up and makes them happy, re- 
fined, elevates and educates them, and saves 
many souls. The larger tune is developed in a 
person the better they will perform the work that 
belongs to it and do more of it. They would 
also become more refined, elevated and at the 
same time have true happiness. Now if tune is 
small in people they will not love music and are 
liable to ignore and ridicule music and people 
that are teaching and learning music, even if it 
is for good Then, on the other hand, when tune, 
is large or larger than the other organs it is lia- 
ble to cause a person to be listening and learn- 
ing music for purposes that do not give a person 
a good true character, and also causes a person 
to be paying too much attention to music when 
they should be seeing to other inportant things. 
Now we see that an organ or organs whether 
large or small L8 liable to cause a person to do 
wrong, if a person has not an organ or organs 
of the brain to enjoy and perform certain kinds 
of brain work they should rejoice and be happy 
and willing that others can and do enjoy such, 
if it is not of a degrading nature; and then do 
not blame a person for not enjoying and per- 
lonning much) whatever it may be. it his organs 
arc not adapted to perform and enjoy such. We 
should try and work in harmony as much as 
possible by cultivating ourselves in the way of

true culture and have a good and true character, 

PEOPLE BECOMING BETTER. 

People, as a general rule, are becoming better ; 
their morality and religion is broader and more 
just; they are causing all nations to come to- 
gether and be as one in peace, justice, morality 
and religion. People used to be more selfish 
and only looked to themselves and their own 
country and did not seem to care how other na- 
tions prospered. They did not seem to care 
whether it was peace or war with other nations. 
Of course we have people in this and other coun- 
tries to-day who are as wicked as any person 
ever was or ever will be, but we are instituting 
some of the best moral, religious and charitable 
institutions that the world ever saw. As one 
nation advances it helps to advance others, and 
all nations should try to advance one another as 
much as possible in all that is good and bene- 
ficial and not simply use our friends and neigh- 
bors right, but everybody in all places and do 
not give where it is not used for good purposes. 
The way in which to cause all nations to become 
wise and good and to work in harmony, each 
person must become wige and good and we 
should all be guided by intelligence, morality 
and religion and not just by political parties or 
foolish customs.

The Chautauqua school is the place to get 
true culture. It is educating people in nearly 
every part of the world in their homes as well as 
in their colleges. This school is doing great 
good in bringing nations together in peace and 
happiness by true culture. Address, enclosing

The people in the counlry should raise and 
make things the best they can for the people in 
the towns and cities and the people in the t iwns 
and cities should sell and manufacture things 
the best they can for country people. 

medic INK. 

Do not use liniments, oils, [turpentines, etc., 
for external use to the body, as they generally 
drive the disease from one part of the system to 
some other part and they often only deaden or 
numb the parts so you will not feel the pain, 
People who apply so much medicine deaden the 
nervefi and then they will not carry electricity 
lind nervous power to those parts freely to en- 
liven that pari up properly and that part to 
which they are applied are liable to dwindle 
away Blowly and a person is also liable to drive 
rheumatism to hi* heart from some external 
pari and the blood is also often poisoned by the 
• i se of t hese injurious medicines What would 
we think if people would put medicine on boils 
unci scatter the impurities through the system? 



127 

We would think they had better poultice and 
draw out the impurities. For aches, strains, 
&c, we should use poultices and blisters and 
very warm or cold water or cupping and electric- 
ity and draw out the impurities and electrify 
the nerves. Sometimes good internal medicines 
are very beneficial, but the best of all is to try to 
prevent diseases by taking good care of our-. 
selves. 

Consistency — Congruity, fitness, adaptation or 
the relation or agreement between things. It says 
to the other organs — come and we will work to- 
gether in harmony for that which is useful and 
good. But the trouble is they do not all obey if 
we do not train them properly, Oh, consistency, 
thou art a jewel. 

What I mean by the crown of the brain in my 
explanations, is where the hair parts in all direc- 
tions just on the rounding part of the brain near 
the back part of the head,
